After Olympian Tyson Gay qualified for the 100-meter-dash fal, Christian news outlet OneNews Now published an article wh the followg headle: “Homosexual Eas Into 100 Fal at Olympic Trials. ” The mistake was ed by the se’s edorial filter, which changed the athlete’s last name tomatilly — keepg wh the outlet’s policy agast nng stori that e the term “gay, ” replacg  wh “homosexual” stead.

Although the terms “gay” and “homosexual” may be notatively listed as synonyms, g one or the other is often strategic and liberate, wh a host of socpolil do people mean when they say ‘homosexual’? Historilly, the term “homosexual” has been associated wh clil ias about same-sex attractn as viant.

Born-aga Christian groups have strategilly ed this term to emphasize their belief that homosexualy is a behavral aberratn; wh this as a foundatnal belief, they create “nversn therapy” programs to treat same-sex attractn as a psychologil abnormaly. The term “gay, ” on the other hand, beme the preferred term ed by pro-LGBT activists the late 1960s. The ANES randomly assigned half of s rponnts to answer policy qutns about “homosexual” rights, while the remag half did the same about “gay” rults showed that, as recently as 2012, the terms “gay” and “homosexual” uld affect public opn.

The term “homosexual” was associated wh lower levels of support for LGBT here’s an important veat: This effect is ndned by a few factors. Among born-aga Christians, opposn to “homosexual rights” was 21 percent higher for dividuals wh the hight observed level of the thorarianism sle, pared wh those srg at the lowt level.

However, when asked about “gay rights, ” we observed no differenc between the two, we examed whether a siar pattern of rults might occur when lookg at whether rponnts personally know someone wh same-sex attractns.

Aga, when asked about “gay rights, ” we observed no differenc between the two groups.

Overall, our rearch suggts that the terms “gay” and “homosexual” n be ed strategilly to sway public opn among certa large and polilly relevant groups.
