Abstract in brief

The study explores how religious beliefs, internalized shame, and internalized homonegativity influence gay men from different cultural backgrounds, particularly focusing on Abrahamic religions like Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.
Quantitative results indicate no significant difference in internalized homonegativity between Caucasian and Asian gay men, with religious affiliation and internalized shame being predictors of homonegativity.
Qualitative findings reveal that gay men following monotheistic faiths often struggle with reconciling their sexuality and religion, adopting different coping strategies compared to those with non-Abrahamic or no religious beliefs.
