Cover Story: In the United States, support for lesbian and gay (LG) civil rights, especially same-sex marriage, has increased in recent decades, yet the number of anti-LGBT bills has also been increasing—up from 41 in 2018 to 238 in the first three months of 2022 alone. Additionally, heterosexism is still prevalent, particularly among highly religious populations. Evidence suggests, however, that it may not be affiliation, but rather conviction in one’s beliefs that relates to prejudicial attitudes. Understanding the underlying motivations and psychological correlates of these discriminatory beliefs is a critical area for research to develop strategies to intervene. We explored the relationship between religiosity and heterosexism and its impact on support for LG civil rights, and how this relationship might depend on an individual’s degree of religious fundamentalism.
