homosexuality. There was a main effect of sexuality on perceived stability of heterosexuality (Table 1) which was moderated by an interaction involving participant gender (F(2, 238) = 6.00, p = .01). Among male participants, gay men (M = 4.20, = 0.85) perceived SD bisexuality to be less stable than did bisexual men (M = 5.26, = 0.36) and heterosexual SD men (M = 5.86, = 0.74). Among female participants, heterosexual women (M = 4.66, SD SD = 0.76) perceived bisexuality as less stable than did bisexual women (M = 5.08, = 0.53) SD and lesbians (M = 4.90, = 0.57). Post hoc tests revealed that lesbian and gay respondents SD perceived heterosexuality to be more stable than did heterosexual women and men. A similar 2x3 ANOVA revealed a main effect of sexuality for erotophilia: heterosexual respondents were significantly less erotophilic than bisexual respondents and lesbian/gay respondents. There was also a main effect of sexuality on the value of monogamy measure (Table 1). Lesbian, gay and heterosexual respondents expressed significantly more positive attitudes toward monogamy than did bisexual respondents. Essentialist beliefs about Bisexuality Next we tested our opposing hypothesis regarding the relationship between essentialist beliefs and prejudice toward bisexual people. A series of 2 x 3 ANOVAs revealed a significant main effect of sexuality on all three bisexuality-related essentialist belief subscales - discreteness, immutability and universality (Table 1). Bisexual respondents' considered bisexuality to be significantly less discrete than lesbian, gay and heterosexual respondents did (Table 1). There was no main effect of sex, but this effect of sexuality was qualified by a significant interaction effect involving participant sex (F(2,238) = 3.25, = .04). Gay men (M = 2.32, = 0.90) believed bisexuality to be more p SD discrete than did lesbians (M = 1.84, = 0.64), and heterosexual men (M = 2.26, = 0.92) SD SD believed bisexuality to be more discrete than did heterosexual women (M = 2.09, = 0.74).
