“…For example, the teachings of religious communities play a crucial role shaping ideology. People in an affirming religious community ought to internalize more affirming values, and in some communities, these progressive messages may relate strongly to intrinsic religiosity because they are core beliefs within the religious community (Chonody, Woodfor, Smith, & Silverschanz, 2013).…”

This study explores the role cultural humility plays in attitudes and discrimination towards people identifying as gay or lesbian among religious individuals. Specifically, we explore cultural humility as a possible predictor of less discriminatory attitudes towards lesbians and gay men above and beyond the effects of conservatism and religious orientation. Consistent with prior work, we expected that (a) intrinsic religious orientation, extrinsic religious orientation, and conservatism would be positively related to discriminatory attitudes and (b) that quest religious orientation and cultural humility would be negatively related to discriminatory attitudes. Participants ( N = 231) were recruited through MTurk after the 2016 Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida to understand the attitudes and experiences held by Americans. Participants completed measures of religious orientation, attitudes, and behaviors towards lesbians and gay men, and cultural humility regarding LGBT issues. Results supported the hypothesis that cultural humility predicts less discrimination towards lesbians and gay men beyond conservatism and religious orientation. Results, limitations, and future directions are discussed.

“…Another area for further investigation should address sexual assault and violence in religious colleges among persons who are LGBTQ. As noted by several researchers, the intersection of religion and sexual orientation among college students is fraught with challenges that demand further research (Chonody, Woodford, Smith, & Silverschanz, 2013). Whether individual, institutional, or both, however, this study makes it clear that both religious and secular colleges must continue to face up to the realities of sexual violence on campus-an issue that demands attention both by scholars and practitioners in higher education.…”

Religious colleges and universities make up a substantial segment of the higher education landscape in North America, but the incidence of sexual violence on these campuses remains understudied. This study estimates the incidence of sexual violence on independent Christian campuses using a sample of part-time and full-time undergraduate students (N = 668) from eight private Christian colleges in Ontario, Canada. Using two widely used measures of sexual violence enabled comparisons with studies of self-reported incidents at secular and public colleges and universities. The findings show that 18% of women at religious colleges reported experiencing unwanted sexual contact within the past year, compared to studies of self-reported rates on secular campuses ranging from 21.4% to 31.4%. Exploratory investigation of factors related to victimization suggests that religious colleges may provide a “moral community” that could reduce the risk of sexual violence.

“…As pessoas religiosas são mais conservadoras e apresentam uma perceção mais negativa acerca da homossexualidade, em que pessoas com altos níveis de religiosidade apresentam atitudes mais homofóbicas sendo a homossexualidade condenada pela religião e influenciadora do juízo de valor e comportamento das pessoas. Sendo essa considerada pecado e desrespeitadora das leis de Deus (Barringer et al, 2013;Chonody et al, 2013;Gomes & Serôdio, 2014;Gusmão et al, 2016;Harbaugh & Lindsey, 2015;Pereira et al, 2017;Santos et al, 2017). O presente estudo confirma estes pressupostos no qual a discriminação da homossexualidade por pessoas religiosas pode ser justificada pelo facto de a religião encarar como condenável o casamento homossexual por impossibilitar a procriação, sendo esta uma das crenças basilares ao nível da religião.…”

“…As pessoas que têm ou tiveram contacto com indivíduos não-heteros-perceção mais negativa acerca da homossexualidade, que ao olhos destes tende a ser consideradoa como um pecado e um desrespeito das leis de Deus. O oposto ocorre em pessoas mais liberais (Chonody, Woodford, Smith, & Silverschanz, 2013;Gomes & Serôdio, 2014;Gusmão et al, 2016;Pereira, Dias, Lima, & Sousa 2017). Santos, Carvalho, Nunes e Silveira (2017) relacionaram a religiosidade com a homofobia e mostraram que quem tem altos níveis de religiosidade apresenta atitudes mais homofóbicas.…”

A forma como a sociedade vê a homossexualidade sofreu alterações ao longo do tempo, sendo o objetivo deste estudo perceber de que forma é vista a homossexualidade na atualidade, tendo por base diferentes variáveis: sexo, meio (rural/urbano), idade, religiosidade, contacto interpessoal LGBT, habilitações académicas e o setor profissional. Este estudo foi do tipo quasi-experimental e de caráter transversal. A amostra foi de 192 indivíduos, 97 mulheres e 95 homens. Aplicou-se um questionário sociodemográfico e uma Escala Multidimensional de Atitudes Face a Lésbicas e Gays (EMAFLG). Os resultados evidenciaram valores mais elevados nas subescalas negativas e mais baixos na subescala positiva relativas à perceção da homossexualidade concluindo que os homens, os indivíduos que passaram a maior parte da sua vida em meio rural, as pessoas com mais idade, os indivíduos que se consideram religiosos, aqueles que não possuem contacto com LGBT, os que possuem habilitações académicas mais baixas e por fim os indivíduos que trabalham numa área do setor secundário são mais homofóbicos. Concluiu-se que existe preconceito relativamente à homossexualidade.
