| Summary: | This study measured the desire for social distance from gay men and lesbians, homonegative attitudes, religious fundamentalism, religious motivation, Christian orthodoxy, and demographic variables in a sample of 125 undergraduate students at a Roman Catholic university in Texas. Results suggest that some forms of religiousness predicted homonegativity, while others did not. Specifically, consistent with previous findings, religious fundamentalism predicted homonegativity, while Christian orthodoxy did not add significantly to the variance once fundamentalism was accounted for. Results also indicate that the relationship between religious fundamentalism and homonegativity is present in samples beyond the predominantly European-American Protestant students studied in the past. |
