The story about the Janes reminded me of how of the much the culture conflict of the 1960s was a civil war within the Democratic party. Obviously true of segregation versus civil rights. Also true of the Vietnam war. And the state-level conflicts over abortion and, to a lesser extent, birth control, also involved large, traditionally Democratic constituencies in the South and in the heavily Catholic large cities, like Chicago, and states like Connecticut.
You should take a look at what Bari Weiss is doing on the topic.
Not sure if my comment registered, so re-writing it..
But I believe that according to Kinsey, the number of exclusively homsexual adult males was 4% and an additional 6% may have experimented, but was heterosexual in adulthood. I think that's where the 10% comes from, which is much overstated.
The percentage of adult females who were Lesbians was 3% according to Kinsey. I am relying on my reading from almost 40 years ago.
