In this paper, we examine non-lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender-affirming religiosity among behaviourally-bisexual Latino men as it relates to sexual attitudes, experiences and behaviours. We asked how does religiosity correspond to masculine identities, sex roles and condom efficacy? And how might religiosity influence contexts of health risks? Data were analysed from a mixed-methods study of 142 behaviourally-bisexual Latino men, aged 18-60 years. Major findings include positive correlations between religiosity and (1) masculine ideologies, (2) internalised homonegativity, (3) less comfort with receptive sex, (4) low condom efficacy and (5) higher levels of loneliness and incidents of discriminatory events. Results are paired with illustrative, descriptive case studies from life history interviews. It is suggested that non-lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender-affirming religiosity plays a paradoxical role in the lives of behaviourally-bisexual Latino men - on one hand, increasing internalised homonegativity and attendant health risks and, on the other, providing social support to members of a marginalised population.
在本文中，我们研究了行为上的双性恋拉丁裔男性中非同性恋、双性恋和跨性别认同的宗教信仰，以及其与性态度、性经历和性行为的关系。我们想知道宗教信仰与男性身份、性别角色和避孕套效果有何关联？宗教信仰又如何影响健康风险的背景？这项数据来自于对 142 名 18-60 岁的行为上的双性恋拉丁裔男性进行的混合方法研究进行分析。主要发现包括宗教信仰与以下因素之间存在正相关：（1）男性意识形态，（2）内化的同性恋恐惧症，（3）对接受性行为的不舒适感，（4）避孕套效果较低，（5）孤独感和歧视事件发生率较高。结果与生活史访谈中的说明性描述性案例研究配对。研究表明，非同性恋、双性恋和跨性别认同的宗教信仰在行为上的双性恋拉丁裔男性的生活中扮演着矛盾的角色——一方面，增加了内化的同性恋恐惧症和随之而来的健康风险，另一方面，为边缘化人群提供了社会支持。
