The article/research study, Black-White Differences on Gay Rights, I read was by Gregory B. Lewis. The study first list the abstract question: Are blacks more homophobic about sexuality than whites? The study included 7,000 blacks and 43,000 whites (in research this amount was heavily lop-sided). The research were 31 surveys conducted since 1973. These surveys shows difference in attitude toward sex and demographic roots. The outcome of the study was that more blacks and black families disapprove of homosexuality than whites. Of the more recent surveys, 1/3 of the blacks say AIDS might be God's punishment for the immoral sexual behavior. The twist to this though, is that blacks are more likely to support laws prohibit antigay discrimination: sodomy laws, gay civil liberties, and employment discrimination. I thought this to be interesting, but it makes since. Since slavery has been abolished African Americans have struggled to become equals in the American society. Civil liberties and employment discriminations are things that were overcome. So, I think that they would support others in obtaining the same "freedoms" they have. Other things that were found in the study were that blacks were less likely to be accepted in a gay or lesbian community and experience racism from GLBTs (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual) and blacks tend to have "deeply religious roots." This study also takes into account age, gender and education of both races. This was a study that I never heard of being done, but it was quite interesting to look at the outcome.
