After recent civil rights expansions for sexual minorities in the United States, we updated previous findings on population-level attitudes toward homosexuality measured in the General Social Survey. In 2014, 40.1% of respondents reported that homosexuality was "always wrong" compared with 54.8% in 2008 (P < 0.001). Although black and Hispanic respondents consistently reported more negative attitudes regarding homosexuality than white respondents throughout 2008 to 2014, the percentage declined among all racial/ethnic groups. Among MSM, more positive attitudes were associated with HIV testing. Research shows a potential association between homophobia and HIV risk; thus, these population-level changes may promote better health among MSM.
在美国近期对性少数群体民权进行扩展之后，我们更新了此前在综合社会调查中所测量的关于对同性恋的总体态度的研究结果。2014年，40.1%的受访者表示同性恋“总是错误的”，而2008年这一比例为54.8%（P<0.001）。尽管在2008年至2014年期间，黑人和西班牙裔受访者对同性恋的态度始终比白人受访者更为负面，但所有种族/族裔群体中的这一比例都有所下降。在男男性行为者中，更积极的态度与艾滋病毒检测相关。研究表明恐同与艾滋病毒风险之间存在潜在关联；因此，这些总体层面的变化可能会促进男男性行为者群体的健康状况改善。
