Maney, Dolores W.; Cain, Richard E.
Journal of School Health, v67 n6 p236-42 Aug 1997
This study assessed preservice elementary teachers' attitudes toward homosexual parents and their children. Surveys of 198 preservice teachers who completed the Gay and Lesbian Parenting Questionnaire indicated that some homophobia existed, though less than expected. Females had significantly more favorable attitudes toward homosexual parents and their children than did males. (SM)
