Abstract in brief

  • The study examined how gender influences attitudes toward bisexual men and women, finding that women generally accept both genders equally, while men tend to be less accepting of bisexual men than of bisexual women.
  • The results showed that men's lower acceptance of bisexual men was partly due to eroticization of female same-sex sexuality, and open-ended responses revealed negative stereotypes about male bisexuals, such as being gender-nonconforming or "really gay," while female bisexuals were viewed more positively as sexy.
  • Overall, the findings highlight that beliefs about gender and sexuality contribute to binegativity, especially against bisexual men, and that it's important to consider both the gender of the person judging and the target when studying sexual prejudices.
