Predictors of Attitudes Toward Gay Men and Lesbian Women in 23 Countries (2020, background): “…this work suggests that men are more likely to be both the targets and perpetrators of sexual prejudice (Herek, 2002, 2007; Kite & Whitley, 1998; Whitley, 2001, 2009), and attitudes toward sexual minorities are robustly related to beliefs about the gender system, more broadly (e.g., Davies,…”
Integrating the Study of Transgender Spectrum and Cisgender Experiences of Self-Categorization from a Personality Perspective (2014, background): “As Tate (2013) recently noted, advancing new, alternative ideas— even if they turn out to be incorrect later—is extremely useful for theorizing in science because the new ideas require the existing positions to become more specific and thus stronger.”
There’s More Than Meets the Eye: Facial Appearance and Evaluations of Transsexual People (2010, background): “Gay-bashing tends to be more common in men than women (Whitley 2001) and this is very likely true for violent or rude behaviors toward transpeople.”
The roles of gender role conflict and internalized heterosexism in gay and bisexual men's psychological distress: Testing two mediation models. (2008, background): “Second, gender role conflict and traditional gender role attitudes have been significantly correlated with antigay beliefs among heterosexual men (Walker, Tokar, & Fischer, 2000; Whitley, 2001; Wilkinson, 2004).”

The Influence of Declining Homophobia on Men’s Gender in the United States: An Argument for the Study of Homohysteria (2014, background): “Whereas homophobia had traditionally restricted heterosexual males’ gendered behaviors (McCreary 1994; Whitley 2001), they are now able to engage in once-stigmatized behaviors as attitudes toward homosexuality improve (Anderson 2008a; Gottzén and Kremer-Sadlik 2012).”
Heterosexuals’ Attitudes Toward Transgender People: Findings from a National Probability Sample of U.S. Adults (2013, result): “…link homosexuality with the violation of gender norms (Herek 2000; Kite and Deaux 1987; Madon 1997) and this association appears to be stronger for men than for women (Kite and Deaux 1987; Martin 1990; Whitley 2002), according to studies conducted primarily with U.S. and Canadian college samples.”
