| dc.description.abstract | This study was on the effect of homosexuals in communities. The findings are more methodologically robust, they suggest that exposure to gays and lesbians has tolerating effects even if all of the numerous conditions thought to be necessary for contact to have ameliorative impact are not operative. We may infer from this that the contact hypothesis, which was after all developed primarily to help explain racial prejudice, may need to be amended in the case of homosexuality. Indeed, our findings indicate that contact with homosexuals may elicit quite different public responses than contact with racial minorities. More research needed to determine if homophobia has fundamentally different roots than racism or whether attitudes toward homosexuals are simply more responsive to casual contact, while racist attitudes are resistant to all but the most intimate, cooperative, and positive interaction. The findings also point the way toward further research on public attitudes toward gays, per se. Among other things, it would be useful to replicate this study (1) using a multiple-item measure of public attitudes toward homosexuals such as that recommended to ensure that our results are not driven by our choice of dependent variable; and (2) including a measure of interpersonal contact to allow us to determine how the contact and context variables relate to each other. Finally the findings also appear to have significant political and strategic implications. While our research does not directly address particular gay rights, previous research has demonstrated that people's effective attitudes toward gay men and lesbians is the strongest and most consistent predictor of their support for the equal treatment of homosexuals in such areas as employment, military service, and adoption rights. | en_US |
