Abstract
With a nationally representative, repeated cross-sectional sample of over 250,000 Americans from 2016 to 2019, we investigate the role that religious and LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) identities play in influencing Americans’ political attitudes, centering the narratives of religious LGBT Americans. We find that nearly half of LGBT Americans affiliate religiously. Logistic regressions show that identifying as religious is related to more conservative views on LGBT rights and abortion while identifying as LGBT is related to more liberal views on both of these issues. We failed to observe interaction effects, suggesting that religious affiliation influences LGBT individuals’ political views in a manner similar to the way it influences cisgender, heterosexual individuals’ views. Comparisons of the variation accounted for by religious or LGBT identities show that religious affiliation more frequently accounted for more variation in political views.
通过对 2016 年至 2019 年超过 25 万名美国人进行具有全国代表性的重复横截面抽样，我们调查了宗教和 LGBT（女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和跨性别者）身份在影响美国人政治态度方面所起的作用，并以信教的 LGBT 美国人的叙述为中心。我们发现，近一半的 LGBT 美国人有宗教信仰。逻辑回归结果表明，认同宗教与在 LGBT 权利和堕胎问题上更保守的观点有关，而认同 LGBT 与在这两个问题上更自由的观点有关。我们没有观察到交互效应，这表明宗教归属对 LGBT 个人政治观点的影响方式与对顺性别异性恋个人观点的影响方式类似。对宗教或 LGBT 身份所造成的变异进行比较后发现，宗教归属更经常地造成政治观点的更多变异。
期刊介绍：
Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion is a multi-disciplinary journal that publishes articles, research notes, and book reviews on the social scientific study of religion. Published articles are representative of the best current theoretical and methodological treatments of religion.
