| Popis: | Religious fundamentalism is associated with negative perceptions towards outgroups and marginalized populations. However, this association has not been studied in Africa. This study among religious leaders in Kenya established that religious fundamentalism was negatively associated with acceptance of lesbian women and gay men and acceptance of gender diversity and positively associated with social distance towards gay men and social distance towards lesbian women. While religious fundamentalism was positively associated with social distance for sex workers, there was no association with social distance for transgender persons and persons who inject drugs. Future research should explore how bias among religious leaders towards gender and sexual minorities can be reduced while taking religious fundamentalism into account. |
