IN FOUR SPECIALTI (ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY, OBSTETRICS AND GYNAELOGY, GENERAL AND FAY PRACTICE, AND GENERAL SURGERY) OVER 30% OF RPONNTS DISPLAYED HOMOPHOBIC ATTUS. A 1988 SURVEY OF FAY PRACTICE RINTS AT NE UNIVERSY-BASED PROGRAMM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SHOWED OVERALL THAT 20% OF MALE RINTS WERE HOMOPHOBIC (PARED WH ONLY 3% OF WOMEN).4THE RISE OF AIDS DREW H ATTENTN TO GAY MEN AND GAVE HOMOSEXUAL AND BISEXUAL NCERNS A NEW VISIBILY.

A FEW DIRECTORS CLUD MENTS THAT HOMOSEXUALY WAS A “GEIC FECT,” A “PSYCHIATRIC DIAGNOSIS,” OR “AN ABERRATN.” A QUARTER SAID THAT THEY WOULD RANK AN OPENLY HOMOSEXUAL OR BISEXUAL NDIDATE LOWER, AND ANOTHER QUARTER THOUGHT THAT DISCLOSURE OF SEXUAL ORIENTATN DURG TERVIEW WAS APPROPRIATE.
