One attitude reflecting alignment with normative masculinity significantly predicted straight identification among men with substantial same-sex activity and/or attraction. Among both groups of women, one femininity attitude and motherhood also predicted straight identification. After controlling for attractions and sexual practices, homophobia predicted straight identification in all groups. This paper uses the 2013–2015 NSFG, a representative US-based dataset of individuals 15–44, to explore predictors of straight identification among all women and men and among subsets with substantial same-sex activity and/or attraction.
