The objective of the present study is to explore the correlation between these attitudes and levels of sexism, social homophobia and internalized sexual stigma. Methods: The participants were 826 (534 F, 292 M), aged between 17 and 70. 59,8% defined him/her-self as “exclusively heterosexual”, 29,2% as “exclusively homosexual” and 11% as “bisexual”. The following tests have been administered: Questionnaire on socio-demographic Information, Ambivalent Sexism Inventory; Measure of Internalized Sexual Stigma for Lesbians and Gays; Modern Homophobia Scale, The Katuzny Same-sex Marriage Scale; D’Amore and Green Same-sex Parenting Scale. Results: Positive correlations have been found between: sexism and homophobia (r ¼ .378; p < .01) and sexism and internalized sexual stigma (r ¼ .320; p < .01). Male subjects obtained higher scores in sexism (F(1,559) ¼ 15,555; p < .01) and homophobia (F(1,559) ¼ 44,977; p < .01). Heterosexuals were significantly less favorable regarding gay and lesbian marriage (F(1,821) ¼ 96,936; p < .05) and parenthood (F(1,821) ¼ 84,260; p < .05) compared to the non-heterosexuals. Heterosexual males were the most unfavorable towards parenting (F(1,821) ¼ 4,786; p < .05). Conclusion: The results offer a contribute to scientific research which still has significant gaps regarding the attitude-associated variables towards marriage and parenting between people of the same gender. Sexual education at schools and clinic supervision interventions should take these evidences into account. Policy of full disclosure: None.

Abstract
The objective of the present study is to explore the correlation between these attitudes and levels of sexism, social homophobia and internalized sexual stigma. Methods: The participants were 826 (534 F, 292 M), aged between 17 and 70. 59,8% defined him/her-self as “exclusively heterosexual”, 29,2% as “exclusively homosexual” and 11% as “bisexual”. The following tests have been administered: Questionnaire on socio-demographic Information, Ambivalent Sexism Inventory; Measure of Internalized Sexual Stigma for Lesbians and Gays; Modern Homophobia Scale, The Katuzny Same-sex Marriage Scale; D’Amore and Green Same-sex Parenting Scale. Results: Positive correlations have been found between: sexism and homophobia (r ¼ .378; p < .01) and sexism and internalized sexual stigma (r ¼ .320; p < .01). Male subjects obtained higher scores in sexism (F(1,559) ¼ 15,555; p < .01) and homophobia (F(1,559) ¼ 44,977; p < .01). Heterosexuals were significantly less favorable regarding gay and lesbian marriage (F(1,821) ¼ 96,936; p < .05) and parenthood (F(1,821) ¼ 84,260; p < .05) compared to the non-heterosexuals.
