This study explores what students think about same sex relationships, homophobia and the experience of or perception of discrimination based on sexual orientation. The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: What percentage of students view same sex relationships positively? Negatively? Which students are more or less prone to different viewpoints on same sex relationships? How do students view the attitudes and policies of college administration and faculty on homosexuality or bisexuality? Do students feel that college administration fosters an inclusive attitude? Is there discrimination against those who prefer same sex relationships? What percentage of students feel that over concern with political correctness actually disadvantages straight students? How do attitudes break down according to race, religion, income level, college major, gender and many other variables?
Just a few of this 73-page report’s many findings are that:
- 86.44% of gay students and 85.64% of bisexual students view homosexuality positively.
- 36% of students in the highest SAT/ACT score quintile felt that their college administration tolerates significant levels of homophobia on campus.
- 6.21% of respondents felt that gay students were treated better than straight students on campus.
Data is broken out by more than 20 institutional and personal variables including but not limited to: income of family of origin, race/ethnicity, religion, gender, regional origins, current employment status, sexual orientation, major field of study, age, year of school standing, type of college, size of college, tuition level of college, and many other variables.
