Males are more likely to view homosexuals as mentally ill than females
Multiple studies demonstrate that males tend to hold more negative attitudes and higher levels of homonegativity toward homosexuality than females.
The claim is specific and empirically verifiable. Reviewing the retrieved literature, studies such as those by paper [7] and paper [10] explicitly report that females hold more liberal attitudes toward homosexuality and lower levels of homonegativity compared to males. None of the retrieved papers refute this directional finding.
