REIS, Marta et al. The gender identy and the influence of attitudes towards homosexuality/ homoparenthood among luso-brazilian. Psic., Saúde & Doenças [online]. 2016, vol.17, n.3, pp.311-325. ISSN 1645-0086.  https://doi.org/10.15309/16psd170301.

Research in the area of sexuality has been evolving over the past decades and issues such as gender of identity and attitudes towards homosexuality they have not remained constant over time, due to the deep social and cultural changes that have occurred in recent years. In this sense, we investigated how gender of identity and attitudes towards homosexuality / homoparenthood are related to gender and different age groups. 636 questionnaires were administered to 126 men and 510 women Portuguese and Brazilian. The results show that there is equity in gender of identity and most have favorable attitudes towards homosexuality and homosexual parenthood. But we found statistically significative differences between genders and age groups: as expected women more often are identified with the feminine gender and men with the masculine gender.  The younger participants more often refered not have a gender identity exclusivity. Women and younger participants have attitudes less discriminatory towards homosexuality / homoparenthood. To experience sexuality positively it's crucial to invest in (re) sexual education as a strategy of sexual and reproductive health.
