For example, those who are religly unaffiliated, sometim lled relig “non, ” (that is, those who intify as atheist, agnostic or “nothg particular”) tend to be more acceptg of homosexualy. Though the opns of religly unaffiliated people n vary wily, virtually every untry surveyed wh a sufficient number of unaffiliated rponnts, “non” are more acceptg of homosexualy than the affiliated.

The term was origally ed durg the late 1940s and early 1950s to distguish between homosexual behavr performed by heterosexuals social settgs and stutns that were predomately same-sex (such as prisons, barracks, naval vsels and boardg school) and those who were actually nsired to be homosexual. Sexual orientatn is now unrstood to be fluid and non-bary (non-bary means not rtricted to two fixed and rigid tegori such as homosexual or heterosexual); the e of outdated terms to shield heterosexuals om the label of homosexualy may have been eful a prevly homophobic society, but currently only acts to rerce the heteronormative attus of the past.

The “lbian until graduatn” label is based on a mon myth that llege mp are a hotspot for a nsirable number of femal to sexually experiment wh members of the same-sex, and then intify as homosexuals upon graduatg. Addnally, although 13% of the female rponnts overall reported participatg a same-sex experience, only 1% intified as “gay” and 4% as “bisexual, ” suggtg a greater existence of sexual fluidy outsi of the llege atmosphere.
One should never assume or imply that a llege female’s homosexual inty is temporary or due to a sire to avoid pregnancy, ward off male attentn, or eva “te” relatnships so that she n foc on her studi.
