Abstract

In this session, participants will examine the effects of heteronormative socialization and the formation of beliefs, perceptions, and attitudes on homosexuality and behaviors toward non-heterosexual people. The presentation examines the association between three primary socialization agents (religion, family, and peers) and beliefs, attitudes, and perceptions about homosexuality and behavior toward homosexuals. The discussion of findings includes the impact of socialization on beliefs, attitudes, and perceptions of homosexuality and the likelihood and level of comfort interacting with LGBTQIA family members, friends, and acquaintances.
