Abstract

Egalitarian gender attitudes are linked to increased support for same-sex marriage, with previous studies mainly focusing on Western countries. Limited existing research from Asian countries often relied on non-representative, convenient samples. Taiwan, the first Asian country to legalize same-sex marriage in 2019, offers a valuable context. Since surveys before 2020 lacked questions on attitudes toward same-sex marriage, we utilized the 2020 PSFD data for a cross-sectional analysis. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to explore the relationship between gender attitudes (assessed through six questions) and attitudes toward same-sex marriage, along with examining the moderation effects of socio-demographic variables. The results revealed significant associations between embracing egalitarian gender attitudes and increased support for same-sex marriage (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] ranged from 1.34 to 2.08, 95% CI = [1.15, 2.45]). Moderation analysis indicated that this connection appeared to be more pronounced among younger individuals, those who were not currently married, and those with higher educational attainment. Individuals who are older, less educated, or married and hold negative views on gender equality should be targeted for efforts to enhance their support for same-sex marriage. Advocating for gender equality aligns with principles of equality, nondiscrimination, and recognizing fundamental rights for all, irrespective of sexual orientation.

平等主义性别态度与同性婚姻态度之间的关系:一项全国代表性调查的结果。
平等主义的性别态度与同性婚姻支持率的提高有关,以往的研究主要集中在西方国家。亚洲国家现有的有限研究往往依赖于非代表性、方便的样本。台湾是第一个在 2019 年实现同性婚姻合法化的亚洲国家,它提供了一个宝贵的背景。由于 2020 年之前的调查缺乏关于同性婚姻态度的问题,我们利用 2020 年 PSFD 数据进行了横截面分析。我们进行了逻辑回归分析,以探讨性别态度(通过六个问题进行评估)与同性婚姻态度之间的关系,并研究了社会人口变量的调节作用。结果显示,接受平等的性别态度与增加对同性婚姻的支持之间存在明显的关联(调整后的几率[aOR]介于 1.34 与 2.08 之间,95% CI = [1.15, 2.45])。调节分析表明,这种联系似乎在年轻人、目前尚未结婚的人和教育程度较高的人中更为明显。年龄较大、受教育程度较低、已婚并对性别平等持有负面观点的人应该成为努力提高他们对同性婚姻支持的目标。倡导性别平等符合平等、不歧视和承认所有人的基本权利(无论性取向如何)的原则。
