Attitudes Toward Homosexuality and Feminitiy in Men

Pages 257-263
Published online: 18 Oct 2010

College students were asked to express their liking for a male stimulus person who was described as their heterosexual or homosexual and as masculine or feminine. Subject disliked the homosexual man more than the heterosexual man, regardless of this gender attributes. Subject did not, however, consistently dislike the feminine man more than the masculine man. The feminine heterosexual man was liked less than the masculine heterosexual man. But the feminine homosexual man was liked more than the masculine homosexual man. These results cast doubt on earlier notions that homosexual people are disliked because of their presumed inappropriate gender attributed. Instead, it appears that homosexual men are dislike even more if they violate the feminine stereotype. Reasons for this effect are proposed.
