Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies suggest that sexual orientation is likely the result of a complex interplay between biological and social factors. While genetics and hormones may play a role, environmental and social factors may also be important.

Answer: B 
 According to the most recent Gallup poll on the topic, approximately 4.5 percent of Americans identify as LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender) when given the choice between five categories: straight, gay or lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or unsure. This percentage is lower than the 10-15 percent commonly cited in surveys, likely because the Gallup poll includes people who identify as transgender and unsure in addition to those who identify as gay or lesbian.

Answer: C 
 The most recent surveys suggest that men are more likely than women to identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual. For example, according to the 2017 Gallup poll, 4.7 percent of men and 3.9 percent of women identified as LGBT.

Answer: D 
 While public attitudes towards homosexuality have become more accepting in recent years, surveys suggest that a majority of Americans still view homosexuality as morally unacceptable. However, attitudes vary considerably by age, with younger generations being more accepting of homosexuality than older generations.

Answer: E 
 Homophobia refers to a fear or hatred of homosexuality, not to having a homosexual identity. It is a term used to describe prejudiced attitudes or discriminatory behaviors towards LGBTQ+ individuals.
