THE ALYSON What did Kinsey say?

ALMANAC

PRESENTS

Joanable bins Fior

January 5, 1948: Alfred Kinsey's report on male sexuality is published. What had been intended as a medical book for a limited audience became an overnight sensation, mostly due to Kinsey's forthright statistics about homosexuality. Millions of Americans felt less alone that month.

6 Exclusively gay

The Kinsey Scale

Kinsey never said that one adult in ten is homosexual. He saw sexuality as

a continuum, defying neat categories: 37%

of adult men had gay sex after adolescence; 13% were actively gay for at least three years; 4% were exclusively homosexual.

Happy birthday to...

I. Edgar Hoover

Jan. 1, 1895-

May 2, 1972

The dreaded FBI chief for half a century, Hoover ruthlessly pursued communists, homosexuals, and anybody he didn't like. But a recent biographer says Hoover had

secrets of his own. Poor man as caricaturist Michael Willhoite says, 'when you look like a bulldog's butt, the

loveliest gown can only

do so much."

Australia has long been in the forefront on gay issues. In January of 1970, lesbians in Melbourne formed a Daughters of Bilitis chapter.

Today, Sydney's annual

Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is the world's biggest gay party.
