Many people took away from the Kinsey report the idea that "10% of the U.S. population is homosexual" -- a statistic which is almost completely worthless, since it significantly understates the percentage of people who have had (or probably will have) some kind of same-sex experience at some time in their lives, but significantly overstates the percentage of people who are at any one point in time exclusively or near-exclusively homosexual in orientation stably over a long period. Most of the statistics in the Kinsey report were problematic due to strangely-skewed samples... AnonMoos (talk) 15:42, 26 December 2013 (GMT)
