Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that people's behavior toward homosexuals is more likely to follow their attitudes if the person they interact with fits their stereotype of what a homosexual is like. This means that if someone holds negative attitudes toward homosexuals and they interact with someone who fits their stereotype (e.g., a flamboyant gay man), they are more likely to behave in a discriminatory manner than if they interact with someone who does not fit their stereotype (e.g., a gay man who does not adhere to gender stereotypes).
