最近关于对待同性恋者的态度的研究促进了这样一种观点，即男性通常比女性有更多的负面态度；非裔美国人比白人有更多的负面态度。然而，在非裔美国人中，女性被认为有最大的负面态度，因为她们认为自己在争夺有限的黑人男性伴侣池。这项研究使用国家黑人政治研究来检验非裔美国人对同性恋男性态度的性别差异。多变量结果显示，在分析的变量中：(1)在非裔美国女性中，年龄、收入、教育程度和城市居住地具有统计学意义；(2)在非裔美国男性中，参加宗教活动的频率是唯一具有统计学意义的变量。因此，有人认为，黑人男子气概解释了性别差异，非裔美国人社区内对男同性恋者的负面态度导致整个黑人社区的身心健康受损。
Recent work on attitudes toward homosexuals promotes the view that males typically have more negative attitudes than females; and African Americans have more negative attitudes than their white counterparts. However, among African Americans women are thought to have the greatest negative attitudes because they perceive themselves as competing for a limited pool of black male partners. This study uses the National Black Politics Study to examine African American gender differences in attitudes toward homosexual men. Multivariate findings show that of the variables analyzed: (1) Among African American females, age, income, education; and urban residence are statistically significant; and (2) among African American males, frequency of religious attendance was the only statistically significant variable. It is, therefore, argued that black masculinity explains the gendered differences and that negative attitudes within the African American community toward gay men contribute to debilitating both the physical and mental health of the entire black community.
