摘要

We have multiple waves of longitudinal trend data relating to gender norm and rape myth acceptance and a series of other attitudinal data collected as a part of a self-report study of student experiences of sexual violence on a college campus. The focus of the present paper is on the population of respondents who self-identified as belonging to an LGBT category and the extent to which they differ from the respondents who did not self-identify as belonging to any of the LGBT categories. We found that LGBT respondents were strikingly different from their straight counterparts, particularly in two areas. The differences centered around respondents’ regard for hypothetical reporters of gender-based violence, particularly sexual assault, and rape, and also in their levels of confidence that the formal systems of response—both police and Title IX—would produce a just outcome for those reporters. LGBT members showed greater empathy for survivors of sexual violence and less confidence that either system of discipline would respond justly.
