While residents in some nations have embraced gay rights as human rights, people in many other countries find homosexuality unacceptable. What creates such big differences in attitudes? This book shows that cross-national differences in opinion can be explained by the strength of democratic institutions, the level of economic development, and the religious context of the places where people live. Amy Adamczyk uses survey data from almost ninety societies, case studies of various countries, content analysis of newspaper articles, and in-depth interviews to examine how demographic and individual characteristics influence acceptance of homosexuality. 606 $aHomosexuality$xPublic opinion$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aHomosexuality$xReligious aspects$vCross-cultural studies 615 0$aHomosexuality$xPublic opinion 615 0$aHomosexuality$xReligious aspects 676 $a306.76/6 700 $aAdamczyk$b Amy, $01249585 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910156236003321 996 $aCross-National Public Opinion about Homosexuality$92895743 997 $aUNINA
