“…This has become a norm in many published works on this domain (e.g. Adamczyk, 2017;Adamczyk and Pitt, 2009;Glas and Spierings, 2021;Jäckle and Wenzelburger, 2015;Janssen and Scheepers, 2019;Souza and Cribari-Neto, 2015). This being said, when running a cross tab between a direct sexual prejudice scale and an indirect measure like neighbour preferences (see Table 3), roughly 10% of 'allies' express extreme sexual prejudice by refusing to live next to homosexual neighbours.…”

While the power of legal exclusion in stigmatisation is undeniable, its impact on ally behaviour has never been explored. This gap in stigma, law, and allyship is the focus of the present study. More specifically, this study shows how exclusion of the stigmatised from a legal system increases prejudicial attitudes expressed by allies. Using sexual prejudice, negative attitudes towards sexual minorities, as a proxy for stigma, this study explores ‘Superficial Allies’ or those who express full support for sexual minorities while refusing neighbouring proximity to them. Using attitudinal data from the Integrated Values Surveys (1981–2016), a large international (113 countries/regions) cross-sectional time-series survey, this study investigates the role of legal inclusion and social obedience in sexual prejudice expressed by those who fully support sexual minorities and those who fully reject them. The results of logistic regression models suggest that the absence of legal recognition and protection for sexual minorities at the national level increases expression of sexual prejudice among both allies and the stigmatisers. While social obedience plays a significant role in stigmatisers’ expression of sexual prejudice, it shows no significance for the ally population. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

“…It is hypothesized that having children and being generally more satisfied may relate positively to tolerance for homosexuality because of a desire for one's child to be accepted unconditionally by others and due to a greater ease with others flowing from greater ease with oneself. At the country leve,l further controls are added relating to the level of economic development (Gerhards, 2010;Kenny & Patel, 2017;Roberts, 2019;Slenders et al, 2014;Souza & Cribari-Neto, 2015) and the general level of religious affiliation (Hadler & Symons, 2018;Kuntz et al, 2015) based on previous findings demonstrating their relevance.…”

“…Within nations too, there remains widespread variation in homopositive attitudes across individuals. Several cross-national quantitative studies have examined the reasons for variation in homonegative attitudes across Europe (Gerhards, 2010;Hooghe & Meeusen, 2013;Kuntz et al, 2015;Slenders et al, 2014;Takacs et al, 2016;van den Akker et al, 2013), "Western" nations (Hildebrandt et al, 2017) and globally (Hadler & Symons, 2018;Hildebrandt et al, 2019;Kenny & Patel, 2017;Redman, 2018;Roberts, 2019;Souza & Cribari-Neto, 2015). A range of further studies have posed similar questions of specific regions and individual nations including Taiwan (Cheng et al, 2016;Zhou & Hu, 2020), Korea (Youn, 2018), China (Zhou & Hu, 2020), Singapore (Zhou & Hu, 2020), the USA (Haney, 2016;Worthen et al, 2019), Netherlands (Haney, 2016), Italy (Worthen et al, 2019), Spain (Worthen et al, 2019), Africa (Alozie et al, 2017), and Eastern Europe (Bolzendahl & Gracheva, 2018).…”

Homopositivity Across Europe: Predictors, Pathways, and Moderators

Although homopositivity, the attitudinal acceptance of homosexuality, has generally increased across Western societies, there remains considerable homonegativity across certain regions of the world as well as certain demographic and socioeconomic groups. Although previous cross-national research has successfully identified the key factors affecting homopositive attitudes, the literature neglects both potentially key mediation pathways and moderating interactions between those factors that may unlock more nuanced understanding of these variations in homopositive attitudes across individuals and places. In response, the present study innovatively applied a multivariate structural equation modelling approach to the latest Wave 9 (2018 data) of the large-scale cross-national European Social Survey data in order to shed new light on these currently neglected predictors, pathways, and moderating influences on homopositive attitudes. It used a three-item latent variable to measure the homopositive attitudes outcomes construct. Its explanatory variables were focused across three key sets of factors identified in theoretical and empirical literature (socioeconomics, religiosity, and values) alongside various wider controls. Our analyses made several innovative methodological and empirical contributions to existing debate. Key innovative findings include the original identification of important indirect effects of religious beliefs on homopositive attitudes via religious practices, important indirect effects of education on homopositive attitudes via household income, and the role of national welfare regimes to homopositive attitudes (and with its effects interestingly not moderated by household income).
