Dr. Savin-Williams argues in his newest book, The New Gay Teenager, young adults are becoming much more open in and about their sexualities, and many are resisting the pressure to label themselves as one thing or another.  But, of course, even researchers of Dr. Alfred Kinsey’s time knew that sexuality is not black and white, but rather much more complex.

Even though there are many studies that are reliable, there are some studies aren't reliable. Researcher Dean Hamer of the National Cancer Institute did a behavioral trait study using a common linkage study where it looks for a link between a behavioral trait and a certain genetic structure.

In this article, Ethnic, Gender, and Acculturation Influences on Sexual Behaviors, the researchers hypothesize that “...general differences in normative sexual practices in healthy Euro-Americans, Asians, and Hispanic populations, using measures of acculturation to analyze the relative effects of heritage and mainstream cultures within each group.” (Meston and Ahrold, 2008) The study shows “A total of 1,419 undergraduates (67% Euro-American, 17% Hispanic, 16% Asian; 33% men, 67% women).” (Meston and Ahrold, 2008) The subjects in this study completed questionnaires that evaluated sexual experience and casual sexual behaviors. In this study, Ethnic, Gender, and Acculturation Influences on Sexual Behaviors, the researchers find that Asian women

Few studies have been adequately powered to investigate variability in health by sexual orientation, let alone by orientation and other key social characteristics (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status); yet research suggests heterogeneity in sexual minority health. Most research on sexual minorities health in the United States has been led utilizing convenience samples. In spite of the fact that the discoveries of this exploration have made huge commitments to the research, information gathered from nonprobability tests have constrained access for general health planning as a result of concerns with respect to determination predisposition and outer legitimacy. Populace based health measurements assume a key part in illuminating the prioritization of general health and wellbeing issues, and open interest in the health advancement movement.

1. Why did they do this research? What is the main hypothesis? Past data had indicated that social support systems can increase lesbian couple’s relationship satisfaction while other studies showed that “coming out” as gay or lesbian can also positively influence one’s self –worth and perceived identity.

For a study meant to compare straight and non-straight there was a disproportionate amount of straight people in the survey. While that provides a lot of knowledge about straight people, they were not the group of interest in this survey. In order to get this information, a convenience or internet study might have been better as more lesbians, gays, and bisexuals could have access to the study.

When American citizens hear the word “gay,” what is the first connection that pops into their mind? Does it mean happiness, love, or does it have a negative connotation? Throughout the years, the world epidemic on gay marriage has always been a controversy in the press. In the 1600s, if a gay man or woman practiced sodomy, they were put to death (ProQuest Staff “LGBT”). From the 1600s to the current day, gay rights are still a critical political debate in today’s society that needs a solution. For one to understand at this problem, he or she needs to analyze the causes and effect of this solution.

In “Masculine Guys Only”: The effects of femmephobic mobile dating application profiles on partner selection for men who have sex with men” study, Behm-Morawitz and Miller (2016), had 144 homosexual participants who participated on a voluntary and anonymous basis. The participants were selected by using a snowball sampling method.

Marriage is now commonly defined as a ‘legally or formally recognized union of two partners in a personal relationship’. However, this is commonly associated in society as a union from which children are conceived. Same sex marriage is often then seen as unnatural as children cannot be conceived natural and is this deemed unnatural and is ‘contrary to the ordinary course of nature’. I disagree with this argument because homosexual people don’t choose to be gay and therefore I don’t think that his is unnatural. Whilst same sex couples can’t have children naturally within marriage, I don’t think that the purpose of marriage is to have children and therefore I see no reason why same sex marriage isn’t natural.

In the United States, most of the research that has been conducted on sexual minorities has been led using convenience sampling. Even though huge contributions have been made to research through these studies, information that has been gathered using nonprobability tests have limited access for health planning for the general public, as a result of concerns in regards to determination predisposition and outer legitimacy.
