Degree of Homophily by Gender, Sexual Orientation, and Demographics (Hypothesis 2).

*** p ** p * p Separate OLS regressions examining the predictors of homophily are shown. Positive betas indicate that higher scores on the predictor are related to higher greater homophily (e.g., compared to men, women reported have relatively more same-sex friends than cross-sex friends with whom they could talk about their sex lives, β = .11). The reference groups for dummy coded variables were: Gender (Men), Gay/Lesbian and Bisexual (Heterosexual), Children (No Children), and Marital Status (Unmarried). The predictors were entered simultaneously.Degree of Homophily by Gender, Sexual Orientation, and Demographics (Hypothesis 2).
