What is need wh the profsn, however, is an asssment that has the sensivy to help clients explore their sexual orientatn. A pilot 100-em Sexual Orientatn Sle was veloped after terviewg 30 self-intified gay men who nsired themselv happy/satisfied. The ems summarized the thoughts and feelgs of the 30 men durg the disvery procs and ultimate acceptance of their sexual orientatn. The sle was then pleted by 208 male participants. The Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient was lculated for the ial 100-em versn of the Sexual Orientatn Sle along wh em analysis and factor analysis. The statistil manipulatns were puted to help elimate ems that did not discrimate well. The fal versn of the Sexual Orientatn ntas 43 ems. Implitns for the e of this sle and future directns rearch are further explored. * the gay scale *

The Ksey sle, also lled the Heterosexual–Homosexual Ratg Sle, is a great way to fd out what sexualy you are. The Ksey Sle was created by pneerg sex rearcher Aled Ksey and his lleagu Warll Pomeroy and Cly Mart, who lled the Heterosexual-Homosexual Ratg Sle. Although has a number of limatns, the Ksey Sle was groundbreakg when was ially published bee was the first scientific sle to suggt that human sexualy and sexual attractn are a ntuum and not limed to solely heterosexual or homosexual orientatns.
This rearch ma clear that human sexualy uldn't be fed as exclively heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual. 1: Predomantly heterosexual, but slightly cled to be attracted to the same sex or engage homosexual behavr. 2: Predomantly heterosexual, but more than slightly cled to be attracted to the same sex or engage homosexual behavr.
4: Predomantly homosexual, but more than slightly cled to be attracted to the oppose sex or engage heterosexual behavr. 5: Predomantly homosexual, but slightly cled to be attracted to the oppose sex or engage heterosexual behavr.
GAY RIGHTS MOVEMENT
* the gay scale *
The entirety of human sexualy isn't enpassed by the Sle's heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, and asexual tegori. Th, acrdg to the Sle, the more someone intifi as heterosexual, the ls they intify as homosexual and vice versa. For stance, the man the above example may refer to himself as heterosexual, even though he clearly experienc some homosexual attractn.
When ially me out 1948, homosexualy was outlawed every state Ameri due to sodomy laws and the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn's Diagnostic and Statistil Manual clud homosexualy as a mental health disorr.
Ksey troduced an entirely new way of thkg about sexualy and what's "normal" to this environment, pavg the way for further rearch and changg perceptns about homosexualy and the range of human sexual experienc. The study nclud that for those attemptg to fe their sexual inty beyond homosexual, heterosexual, and bisexual orientatns, the Sle helps expand their ias of how they n fe themselv. One of the major flaws current psychologil tts is the belief that a predictn/diagnosis n be ma that would tell an dividual whether he is heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual.
