Abstract

Attitudes towards homosexuality and same-sex marriage in the Americas and Europe have been found to be tightly related to religion, and especially, how religion is practiced. However, religious individuals are not consistent in their rejection of homosexuality. We explore how religions and religious individuals differ among each other in attitudes towards not just homosexuality, but also other policy areas they consider sins, such as marihuana consumption, abortion, euthanasia, use of contraceptives, and pre-marital sex. Using data for Colombia, we find that Evangelicals are the most reliable opponents of LGBT rights in the country and reject homosexuality more deeply than other sins. They thus target homosexuality distinctively. We also find that attitudes toward homosexuality among Evangelicals seem unresponsive to education. Because of this more pronounced homophobia among Evangelicals, we thus conclude that countries like Colombia that are experiencing increases in the population and levels of organization of Evangelicals are likely to face greater backlash against the expansion of LGBT rights.

并非所有的“罪恶”都被平等地拒绝:在哥伦比亚,跨宗教对LGBT权利的抵制
研究发现,美洲和欧洲对同性恋和同性婚姻的态度与宗教密切相关,尤其是与宗教的实践方式密切相关。然而,宗教人士在拒绝同性恋方面并不一致。我们探讨了宗教和宗教人士之间的态度差异,不仅是对同性恋的态度,还有他们认为是罪恶的其他政策领域,如大麻消费、堕胎、安乐死、使用避孕药和婚前性行为。利用哥伦比亚的数据,我们发现福音派是该国LGBT权利最可靠的反对者,他们比其他罪恶更拒绝同性恋。因此,他们特别针对同性恋。我们还发现,福音派对同性恋的态度似乎与教育无关。由于福音派中对同性恋的恐惧更加明显,我们因此得出结论,像哥伦比亚这样的国家,福音派的人口和组织水平都在增加,可能会面临更大的反对LGBT权利扩张的反弹。
