Kinsey Scale

This is a concept that dates back to Kinsey's 1948 book on male sexuality. (I read that when I was 16 and then had to explain to my parents why I'd checked it out of the library.) It's rarely discussed these days. I've never heard any pro-gay person deny the concept -- that straight/gay is a continuum -- but maybe it threatens the politically correct idea of there being a "lesbian/gay/bi community".

You may notice I structured the song so that everyone between the first two two nearly-straight guys, and the 100% gay one at the end, is a total loser in one way or another. That's not because I think bisexuals are losers, but because if I didn't make them just happen to be a string of losers, I would have run off with the first guy above 2.0 and never finished the song.
