Sexual Revolution Began in Indiana Based on Discredited Work of Alfred Kinsey

Liberty Counsel continues to do great work, and they recently filed a friend-of-the-court brief in reference to the Supreme Court’s upcoming same-sex marriage case; their brief was touched on in recent column at BarbWire by Jerry Newcombe — here’s an extended excerpt from Newcombe’s post:

What I find ironic about this entire [Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Law] brouhaha is that this is just a natural outworking of the sexual revolution, which in fact originally began in Indiana.

The sexual revolution was based on the “scientific” work of Dr. Alfred Kinsey of Indiana University. The reason I put scientific in quote-marks is because of his study samples. His studies were hopelessly flawed. His study samples were not random nor were they representative of the American population as a whole. But they were pawned off as such.

Don’t take my word for it. Dr. Judith Reisman, now at Liberty University, wrote the book on Kinsey. Actually, she wrote several books on him and his flawed research, including, Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences.

Her research uncovered the fact that a sizeable percentage of the men whom Kinsey included in his survey (and from which he drew his conclusions) were prisoners, or people who had been abused as children.

I once asked her about this in an interview. She commented: “That is not a normal population. Nobody would call that a normal population from which to draw information about sexual behavior in the human male.” Nor were his female study samples representative of American women as a whole.

Reisman added, “The crimes that Kinsey committed brought about massive consequences. When we look around us, we see the incredible problems that we have, for example, the rise in venereal diseases. When we see the rise in poverty, in crime, in sexual crime and pornographic addictions, massive sex addictions, we are looking at the consequences of Kinsey.”

Sadly, America bought his lies hook, line, and sinker.

And so now we’re in a place where religious freedom appears to be losing to the forces of sexual anarchy. It would seem as if virtually all the fronts in the culture war are connected to the sexual revolution in one way or another. Abortion and homosexuality certainly are.

Liberty Counsel of Orlando, Florida, founded by A Christian lawyer and culture warrior Mat Staver, has filed a friend-of-the-court brief in reference to the Supreme Court’s upcoming case on same-sex marriage.

In its brief, Liberty Counsel notes, “For the past 67 years, scholars, lawyers and judges have undertaken fundamental societal transformation by embracing Alfred Kinsey’s statistically and scientifically fraudulent ‘data’ derived from serial child rapists, sex offenders, prisoners, prostitutes, pedophiles and pederasts.”

They continue: “Now these same change agents, still covering up the fraudulent nature of the Kinsey ‘data,’ want this Court to utilize it to demolish the cornerstone of society, natural marriage.”

The battle over same-sex marriage is just the latest front in the evolution of the sexual revolution.
