“…Siendo tres nuestros hallazgos principales: 1) En los varones existe una relación positiva significativa entre la actitud religiosa y actitudes poco tolerantes hacia la homosexualidad. Este resultado es similar a lo reportado en otros estudios realizados en Estados Unidos 8,10,11,13,15 21 , las visiones hacia las conductas homosexuales por parte de la religión son mucho más amplias (Intolerante: "Dios odia a los maricones"; Indiferente: "Nosotros no hablamos de eso"; Tolerante: "Los homosexuales son personas con todos sus derechos"). Los moti vos por los cuales muchas religiones, entre ellas el catolicismo, consideran a la prácti ca homosexual como un pecado son variados, y requieren una aproximación histórica y fi losófi ca que escapa por mucho a este estudio.…”

Introducción. Se sabe que las actitudes que tienen los médicos hacia las personas gais y lesbianas podrían influir en el tipo de calidad de atención de salud brindada. Sin embargo, es poca la información que tenemos en el Perú respecto a las actitudes que tienen los médicos frente a la homosexualidad. Los objetivos del estudio fueron determinar las actitudes hacia la homosexualidad y su relación con algunas variables en un grupo de médicos del Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen, Lima, Perú. Estudio de enfoque cuantitativo, aplicado e inductivo, de diseño observacional y transversal. Participaron 142 médicos de 24 a 60 años, 38% mujeres y 62% varones. Métodos. Se utilizó la Escala de Actitud hacia la Homosexualidad (EAH-10) y la Escala de Actitud Religiosa (EAR), además se recolectaron variables sociodemográficas. Resultados. La puntuación media de la EAH-10 fue de 23,32. 46 (32,4%) de los médicos mostraron actitudes intolerantes hacia a la homosexualidad, siendo éstas mayores en varones (p=0,005) y aquellos que mencionaron estar afiliados a una religión (católicos y protestantes/evangélicos) (p=0,007). Se encontró en los varones una correlación lineal positiva entre la actitud religiosa y actitudes homofóbicas (r=0,343, p=0,001), y entre la edad y actitudes homofóbicas (r=0,204, p=0,015). El número de personas cercanas homosexuales conocidas mostró una relación negativa con las actitudes homofóbicas (r= 0,218, p=0,001). El análisis de regresión lineal multivariada mostró que el sexo masculino, el estado civil (divorciado/conviviente) y la EAR resultan asociadas con la EAH-10. Conclusiones. En la población de médicos analizada, se encontró en los varones una relación positiva significativa entre la actitud religiosa y actitudes homofóbicas, y entre la edad y actitudes homofóbicas. Además, se halló una relación negativa significativa entre el número de personas cercanas homosexuales conocidas y actitudes homofóbicas.

“…Values originating from religious identities and traditions can be especially difficult to reconcile (Barringer, Gay, & Lynxwiler, ; Bidell, ; Whitehead, ; Whitman & Bidell, ) and have been empirically linked to homophobia among samples of counseling professionals (Bowers, Minichiello, & Plummer, ). Popular opinion often suggests a dichotomous relationship between religiosity and acceptance of homosexuality (Moon, ), but such polarization oversimplifies the range of current religious thought. Moon () described religious views along a continuum of homonegative, moderate, and homopositive, and Farmer () found spirituality to be positively correlated with LGB competence among counselors.…”

“…Popular opinion often suggests a dichotomous relationship between religiosity and acceptance of homosexuality (Moon, ), but such polarization oversimplifies the range of current religious thought. Moon () described religious views along a continuum of homonegative, moderate, and homopositive, and Farmer () found spirituality to be positively correlated with LGB competence among counselors. Therefore, although counselor religiosity alone does not suggest incompetence in working with LGB clients, there is evidence of the tension that can exist between counselor religiosity and client sexual identity.…”

Values-based conflicts, such as between counselor religiosity and ability to work with lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) clients, can present a challenge for counselors and trainees who seek to provide ethical and competent care. Because empathy can facilitate understanding a client's frame of reference, the authors examined the relationships between counselor religiosity, empathy, and LGB perspectives, as well as the potential mediating effects of empathy on values conflicts. The authors discuss implications for counselor education and practice.

“…Assumptions of difference in the meanings and meaningfulness of intimacy within same‐sex and heterosexual relationships are widespread within legal, political, and religious discourses (see http://Procon.org, for a compendium). Although variability exists across religion and denomination, sexual acts—behavioral and physical manifestations of intimacy—between to people of the same sex are considered morally wrong and sinful within most popular religious discourses (Clarke, Brown, & Hochstein, ; Kugle, ; Moon, ; Siraj, ). This contention provides the foundation for many conservative religious organizations’ backing for same‐sex marriage bans, including support for DOMA (Camp, ).…”

Arguments for restricting access to legal marriage for same‐sex couples are commonly based in claims about differences between heterosexual and same‐sex couples regarding the social and psychological meaning of marriage. This mixed methods study examined meanings of intimacy and relational experience in a purposive North American sample of members of long‐term heterosexual and same‐sex couples (N = 150) in order to examine the validity of meaning‐based justifications for restricted access to legal marriage. Guided autobiographical techniques elicited narrative accounts of four significant events in participants’ relationships. Directed Content Analyses revealed no detectable differences between members of heterosexual and same‐sex couples in multiple qualitative and quantitative indicators of the meaning of intimacy. Members of same‐sex couples, however, evidenced experiences of stigmatization more frequently than heterosexuals. By integrating theoretical and methodological approaches across psychological and sociological traditions within a mixed methods study, the present findings usefully inform ongoing policy debates regarding the legalization of same‐sex marriage.
