Abstract
To understand the current state of research on sexual orientation, we need to address some important questions. Is the distribution of sexual orientation discrete or continuous? Is it best measured with one dimension or two—or more? Just what is sexual orientation, anyway? When studying sexual orientation, should we focus on the beloved, not the lover (i.e., interpret attraction as a function of the attractive person, rather than the person who is attracted)? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid as we move into the next phase of sexual orientation measurement? Finally, as we move from small-scale surveys to large-scale national polls (as some have already begun to do), what modifications of our inventories and procedures need to be made? This section of this issue contains articles that address each of these questions, and this review essay enlarges upon them.
