本文调查同性权利的变化如何影响对同性恋的态度。我们认为，不同的同性关系政策的影响各不相同。登记伴侣关系法构建了一个独特的目标人群，可以享受新的福利，而婚姻平等则发出明确的积极信号，并通过纳入现有权利来减少感知到的群体差异。因此，婚姻平等应该对同性恋态度产生积极影响，而伴侣关系法的积极影响应该要小得多，甚至可能导致某些群体的强烈反对。我们将八轮欧洲社会调查的数据与立法数据相结合，分析了同性婚姻、登记伴侣关系和婚姻禁令对男女同性恋态度的影响。婚姻具有积极影响，禁令和注册伴侣关系具有消极影响。合法化的伙伴关系尤其与非宗教人士和受教育程度较低的人的消极态度显着相关。
This article investigates how changes in same-sex rights affect attitudes toward homosexuality. We argue that different same-sex relationship policies vary in their impact. Whereas registered partnership laws construct a distinct target population that receives new benefits, marriage equality sends an unambiguously positive signal and reduces the perceived group difference through inclusion into existing rights. As a consequence, marriage equality should have a positive effect on attitudes toward homosexuality, whereas partnership laws should have much less positive effects and could even lead to backlash among some groups. Combining data from eight waves of the European Social Survey with data on legislation, we analyze the effects of same-sex marriage, registered partnerships, and marriage bans on attitudes toward gays and lesbians. Marriage has a positive effect, bans and registered partnerships have a negative effect. Legalized partnership is especially associated with significantly more negative attitudes among nonreligious and less educated people.
