Legislatures and courts are debating whether businesses can deny services to same-sex couples for religious reasons. Yet, little is known about public views on this issue. In a national survey experiment, Americans ( = 2035) responded to an experimental vignette describing a gay or interracial couple refused service. Vignettes varied the reason for refusal (religion/nonreligious) and by business type (individual/corporation). Results confirm greater support of service refusal by the self-employed than by corporations and to gay couples than to interracial couples. However, religious reasons for refusal to gay couples elicit no more support than do nonreligious reasons. In the first national study to experimentally analyze views on service refusal to sexual minorities, we demonstrate that views vary by several factors but not by whether the refusal was for religious reasons.
立法机构和法院正在辩论企业是否可以出于宗教原因拒绝为同性伴侣提供服务。然而，公众对此问题的看法知之甚少。在一项全国性的调查实验中，美国人（=2035）对描述一对同性恋或跨种族伴侣被拒绝服务的实验情景做出了回应。情景描述了拒绝的原因（宗教/非宗教）和业务类型（个人/公司）。结果证实，与公司相比，个体经营者更支持拒绝服务，与跨种族伴侣相比，他们更支持拒绝为同性恋伴侣提供服务。然而，出于宗教原因拒绝同性恋伴侣并没有比非宗教原因获得更多的支持。在首次通过实验分析对性少数群体拒绝服务的观点的全国性研究中，我们证明，观点因多种因素而异，但与拒绝原因是否出于宗教无关。
