Has Kinsey’s research been updated? Being that he did his studies some 50 years, would more straight people admit to having bi/gay tendencies if asked today (in a 'generally more tolerant and accepting time)?

Was watching the Ted and Gayle Haggard interviews with Larry King and Oprah last week. Ted is now a self confessed ‘straight male with homosexual tendencies’ and is apparently more or less finally ‘cured’ to being exclusively hetero now.

If he’s happy with his life that’s great, but I can’t help but think he’s still a repressed bi/gay man, and wish he would just openly embrace that other part of himself. But coming from his strong religious background, that he’s married, and that he associates his former life with negative behaviour and events (the lying, the drug use, and alleged sexual abuse as a kid), that just doesn’t seem possible.

In one of the interviews, Ted Haggard didn’t say it out right (though his wife sort of did) but it sounds like he’s still in that ‘hate the sin, love the sinner’ frame of mind.
