Help us defend the right to conduct sex research

Indiana lawmakers voted to approve a budget with amendments that specifically blocks Indiana University from using state appropriations to support the Kinsey Institute. This unprecedented action takes aim at the very foundation of academic freedom and stifles critical research on sexuality, gender, relationships, and reproduction. Since 1947, the Kinsey Institute has been an international thought leader in providing an unbiased and apolitical scientific approach to human sexuality. In this time of divisive politics and the rise of disinformation, Kinsey Institute research, education, and historical preservation are more important than ever.

We are asking our friends to amplify and share your support for the Kinsey Institute.

  Alfred Kinsey quote"It is incomprehensible that we should know so little about such an important subject as sex, unless you realize the multiplicity of forces which have operated to dissuade the scientist, to intimidate the scientist, and to force him to cease research in these areas." Dr. Justin Garcia quote "In a time of divisive politics and disinformation, it is more imperative than ever to preserve and defend the right of such academic institutions to illuminate the unfolding frontiers of science."
