Numerous studies explore racial differences in attitudes toward homosexuality in the United States, but relatively little research focuses on Asian Americans. Using the 2016 National Asian American Survey and the 2012 Pew Asian-American Survey, this study examines the factors shaping Asian Americans' likelihood of supporting legal protections against sex-based discrimination and socially accepting homosexuality. It finds that second-generation Asians are much more likely to socially accept homosexuality and support legal protections for sex-based discrimination than the first generation, which hints at intergenerational acculturation. Among other factors, ethnicity, religion, and education all shape Asians' attitudes, but their relative importance varied by immigrant generation and the dimension of attitudes. Taken together, the findings highlight the heterogeneity of Asian Americans and confirm the importance of accounting for the multidimensionality of attitudes toward homosexuality in research
