Judith Porter

Bryn Mawr College

Latinos, Blacks, and non-Hispanic Whites are compared on two dimensions of attitudes toward homosexxuality utilizing a cumulated file from the General Social Survey. Latinos do not differ from Whites and are more tolerant thati Blacks on the morality dimension of attitudes toward homosexuality but are less tolerant than either of the other groups on the dimension measuring approval of civil liberties for homosexuals. There are no differences in attitudes toward homose-xuality between Mexican Americans and other Latinos. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
