And I point these out, because I know how these kinds of "academics" sell these kinds of "studies"[1]. Here is what the title and subtitle of the Marie Claire story on this research says:
> What’s a Label Anyway?
> New research shows same-sex hookups are pretty common.
In fact, the research used an existing data set which presumably is being mined to the Nth degree, and actually shows the opposite: Only 695 out of the 24,000 reported that their last hookup was with a same-sex partner. Only 124 of the 24,000 respondents reported that their last hookup was with a same-sex partner and identified as heterosexual.
The story in Marie Claire does not contain any overt lies, but is designed to create a certain impression so that, among other things, the author can get invited on TV shows etc.
