GENR ROL THE RELATNSHIPS OF LBIANS AND GAY MEN

However, throughout 150 years of homosexual social movements (roughly om the 1870s to today), lears and anizers stggled to addrs the very different ncerns and inty issu of gay men, women intifyg as lbians, and others intifyg as genr variant or nonbary. Such eyewns acunts the era before other media were of urse riddled wh the bias of the (often) Wtern or Whe observer, and add to beliefs that homosexual practic were other, foreign, savage, a medil issue, or evince of a lower racial hierarchy.

SOCLOGY: STUDY EXAM GENR ROL OF CHILDREN WH GAY PARENTS

Dpe the persistence of stereotyp that portray lbian, gay, and bisexual people as disturbed, several s of rearch and clil experience have led all mastream medil and mental health anizatns this untry to nclu that the orientatns reprent normal forms of human experience. Helpful rpons of a therapist treatg an dividual who is troubled about her or his same sex attractns clu helpg that person actively pe wh social prejudic agast homosexualy, succsfully rolve issu associated wh and rultg om ternal nflicts, and actively lead a happy and satisfyg life. The phrase “g out” is ed to refer to several aspects of lbian, gay, and bisexual persons’ experienc: self-awarens of same-sex attractns; the tellg of one or a few people about the attractns; wispread disclosure of same-sex attractns; and intifitn wh the lbian, gay, and bisexual muny.

Lbian, gay, and bisexual youth who do well spe strs—like all adolcents who do well spe strs—tend to be those who are socially petent, who have good problem-solvg skills, who have a sense of tonomy and purpose, and who look forward to the future. If they are a heterosexual relatnship, their experienc may be que siar to those of people who intify as heterosexual unls they choose to e out as bisexual; that se, they will likely face some of the same prejudice and discrimatn that lbian and gay dividuals enunter.

To tt this assumptn, we nducted a study aimed at examg the relatnship between genr intifitn and attus toward lbians and gay men among people of different genrs and sexual Iology and Attus toward Gay PeopleGenr iology, broad terms, is ually unrstood as an dividual’s ternalizatn of cultural belief systems and attus toward members of a particular genr group. Prev rults revealed that endorsement of TMI was associated wh negative attus toward women (Corprew III et al., 2014; Gage &Lease, 2018; Hyatt et al., 2017; Lease et al., 2020; Stanr et al., 2018) and gay people (Barron et al., 2008; Keiller, 2010; McDermott et al., 2014; Parrott et al., 2002) scholars have suggted that tradnal genr iologi might expla genr differenc attus toward gay men and lbian women.

GENR INTIFITN AND ATTUS TOWARD GAY PEOPLE: GENR AND SEXUALY DIFFERENC AND SIARI

This difference is likely due to straight people exprsg more negative attus than sexual mory dividuals toward sexual together, studi on tradnal genr iologi may expla the differenc attus toward gay people that exist between men and women, and between straight and sexual mory dividuals. To fill this gap, we turn to the examatn of genr Inty and Attus toward Gay PeopleGenr inty is ually referred to as the tegorizatn of onelf as female or male, along wh the importance of this tegorizatn for one’s self-fn (Wood &Eagly, 2015).

Sce people of diverse genrs and sexuali support different genr iologi, one might assume that the groups there will be a different relatnship between genr intifitn and attus toward gay particular, sce TMI impli stricter adherence to differenc between men and women than TFI, we hypothized that stronger genr intifitn among men would be associated wh more negative attus toward lbians and gay men than among women (hypothis 1).

In addn, sce straight dividuals were found to endorse tradnal genr iologi more than sexual mory dividuals, we hypothized that stronger genr intifitn would be associated wh more negative attus toward lbians and gay men among straight people than among sexual mory dividuals (hypothis 2) wh stronger genr intifitn attribute more stereotypil characteristics to genr -group members, give a more posive asssment of people who nform to genr stereotyp, and a more negative asssment of people who vlate them. Sce, acrdg to tradnal genr iologi, men should emphasize their differenc om women more than women do om men, we hypothized that stronger genr intifitn would be associated wh more negative attus toward gay men than toward lbians (hypothis 3) Context of the StudyMost of the studi on the relatnship between tradnal genr iologi, genr inty and attus toward gay people have been nducted the USA and some European untri that are ually characterized by relatively high levels of genr equaly and posive attus toward gay people.

In our opn, featur of the social ntext would strengthen the lk between genr intifitn and attus toward lbians and gay featur of the social ntext dite that, on the one hand, tradnal genr iologi are wispread Rsia, and, on the other, there are no social norms that lim the exprsn of negative attus toward lbians and gay men.

GENR-ROLE'S ATTU, PERCEIVED SIARY, AND SEXUAL PREJUDICE AGAST GAY MEN

In particular, several studi have revealed that bisexual people tend to be exclud by both straight and gay dividuals; they were stereotyped as ls tstworthy, ls cled toward monogamo relatnships and not as able to mata a long-term relatnship (Burke &LaFrance, 2016; Zivony &Lobel, 2014). Table 1 Dcriptive statistics and Pearson rrelatnsFull size tableAttus toward Gay Men and Lbian WomenTo measure attus toward gay men and lbian women, we ed qutnnair measurg the perceived abnormaly of non-straight sexual orientatn through negative emotns toward gay people and support for their rights. All qutnnair had two different versns ed for randomly assigned rponnts: one versn, prented to 438 participants, referred to ‘gay men’, while the send, referrg to ‘lbian women’, was prented to 413 measure the perceived abnormaly of beg a gay person, we ed the Threat to Moraly sle om the Rsian Attus to Homosexuals Inventory (RAHI; Gulevich et al., 2016).

Next, the teractn between genr intifitn and the rponnts’ sexual orientatn (hypothis 2) was examed, followed by the teractn between genr intifitn and the type of attus toward gay people (hypothis 3) analysis was nducted the R environment (R Core Team, 2020). Simple slop analysis (see Table 4) further dited that, except for the lk between SI and support for munitn rights, the higher levels of SI and SD ponents of genr intifitn were more strongly related to more negative attus toward gay men and lbian women the subsample of men than women.
