 AB    This article describes changes in attitudes toward homosexuality using
       1986 and 1991 samples drawn from the same population. It was found that
       men expressed significantly greater negative attitudes toward
       homosexuality than did women; participants in the 1986 assessment
       expressed more anti-homosexuality attitudes than did participants in
       1991; and rural respondents expressed more negative attitudes than did
       participants sampled on a college campus. Greatest attitudinal change
       occurred in students over age 25 and non-students 40 and over. Plausible
       explanations for the favorable attitudinal change over the five-year
       period are explored.
