As discussed, considerable attention has been given to analyzing gender differences in homonegativity. This study has suggested that these differences would largely be as a result of differing attitudes about gender roles. Nonetheless, this study finds that gender differences still prevail even while controlling for gender role ideologies. In essence, what variables could better explain the gender differences between male and female homonegative attitudes?

     Finally, considerable attention was devoted to racial differences among African Americans and Caucasians, however no attention was allotted to any other racial or ethnic categories. This is a huge limitation in that a significant portion of the United States is comprised of a variety of ethnic minorities. Future research must consider the plethora of ethnic diversity that should exist in a representative sample of the United States population.
