Support of rights for gay men and lesbians was investigated in a sample of students from 12 colleges and universities across the United States. The belief that religious teachings against homosexuality are not reasonable was the strongest predictor of support, followed by the belief that homosexuality is caused by biological forces beyond control of the individual, the belief that friends and parents were accepting of homosexuality, and having a school acquaintance known to be gay. More traditional gender-role beliefs and having a roommate known to be gay were significantly associated with less supportive attitudes. University educators can create the opportunity for students to examine and challenge beliefs
