Through the lens of sexual stigma: Attitudes toward lesbian and gay parenting
Publication . Costa, Pedro Alexandre; Pereira, Henrique Marques; Leal, I.
Drawing from the literature on sexual stigma, the principal aim
of this study was to investigate predictors of heterosexual’s
internalization of negative attitudes regarding lesbian and gay
parenting and the mediating role of beliefs in the controllability
of homosexuality. A Portuguese sample of 1,430 heterosexual
women and 502 heterosexual men responded to an online
questionnaire about attitudes toward lesbian and gay parenting.
Structural equation modeling was used to explore attitudinal
predictors and mediation analysis. Mediation analyses revealed
that sexual prejudice toward same-gender-parented families
was predicted by gender, age, education, and religiosity, in that
heterosexual men, those who were older, had less education,
and were more religious held significantly more negative beliefs
about lesbian and gay parenting, as well as lower perception of
benefits associated with lesbian and gay parenting. Further,
etiological beliefs mediated the effects of gender, age, and
religiosity on sexual attitudes, highlighting the importance of
the perception of controllability of homosexuality in justifying
sexual prejudice.
