Their attitude doesn't seem very healthy to me, nor very rational. Do you honestly believe that providing information about sexuality caused any of the "problems" cited? (I put that in quotes because I don't see homosexuality as a problem).
If you read the article, some people are very clearly against investigating sexuality...

Focus on the Family and its allies blame Kinsey for a host of ills -- including clearing a path for candid, comprehensive sex education programs espoused by organizations like the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States.

The Generation Life group said Kinsey was partly responsible for "devastating consequences of sexually transmitted diseases, pornography and abortion". (from a BBC article on the same subject)

They're blaming these ills on his research, not on him going out and personally forcing people to have abortions, watch pornography, or infecting people with STDs.
