“…In support of H2a, heterosexual males, on average, had stronger IO and NO than heterosexual females or LGs, and lesbians had a more positive attitude about children's development in same-sex families than heterosexual females or gay men did. This finding is consistent with that of previous studies (Baiocco et al, 2020;Pistella et al, 2018), suggesting the influence of traditional gender ideology and stereotypes associated with traditional family patterns. Another possible explanation for this finding is that, where procreation has historically been strongly emphasized for females, women, regardless of sexual orientation, are more interested than men in childbearing and parenting.…”

“…China's lack of a legal framework regarding sexual orientation likely had a strong influence on this result, partly because the law is silent on same-sex parenting issues, which means that the public, including sexual minorities, are led to accept negative attitudes toward same-sex parenting. Another reason for opposition to same-sex parenting could be a lack of scientifically accurate public understanding about homosexuality and same-sex parenting (Baiocco et al, 2020;Rollè et al, 2019). Attitudes and beliefs about stigmatized groups tend to be based on cultural stereotypes rather than personal experience (Gillis, 1998).…”

“…Specifically, same-sex couples can neither adopt children (even in the case of step-child adoption, which in the original draft of the bill was consented) nor use medically assisted procreation, reflecting the Catholic Church's stance on procreation. Coherently, Baiocco et al (2020) analysing the attitude of Italian teachers and educators towards children raised by same-sex parents found that the stronger their religious involvement, the sharper their opposition to same-sex parenting.…”

“…The state and the catholic church play an important role in preserving the heteronormative view of intimacy and kinship in the country (Bertone, 2017;Bertone & Franchi, 2014) and they contribute to supporting conservative beliefs about the family, with the result that many individuals still consider gay and lesbian parenthood as threatening children in the country (e.g. Baiocco et al, 2019;Pistella et al, 2018).…”
