Abstract

In view of more and more attention is being paid to homosexuality and  homophobia, we use questionnaires, observations, and interviews to explore people's explicit attitudes to homosexuals and homophobic people. Survey shows that people's attitudes are mostly neutral and rarely reject. However, we found that social attitudes to homosexuality and  homophobia are mostly exclusion by using the Implicit Association Test. In fact, people still have a negative attitude to this group.
