Legislatures and courts are debating whether businesses can deny services to same-sex couples for religious reasons. Yet, little is known about public views on this issue. In a national survey experiment, Americans (n = 2035) responded to an experimental vignette describing a gay or interracial couple refused service. Vignettes varied the reason for refusal (religion/nonreligious) and by business type (individual/corporation). Results confirm greater support of service refusal by the self-employed than by corporations and to gay couples than to interracial couples. However, religious reasons for refusal to gay couples elicit no more support than do nonreligious reasons. In the first national study to experimentally analyze views on service refusal to sexual minorities, we demonstrate that views vary by several factors but not by whether the refusal was for religious reasons.

拒绝服务于同性和异族夫妇：来自全国调查实验的证据。

立法机关和法院正在争论企业是否可以出于宗教原因拒绝向同性伴侣提供服务。然而，公众对这个问题的看法知之甚少。在一项全国调查实验中，美国人（n= 2035）回应了一个实验性小插图，其中描述了同性恋者或异族夫妇拒绝服务的情况。小插图的拒绝原因（宗教/非宗教）和业务类型（个人/公司）各不相同。结果证实，自营职业者拒绝服务的支持比公司和同性恋伴侣对异族夫妇的支持更大。但是，拒绝非同性恋伴侣的宗教原因比非宗教原因没有得到更多的支持。在第一个通过实验分析对少数族裔拒绝服务的观点的国家研究中，我们证明了观点因多种因素而有所不同，但因拒绝原因是否出于宗教原因而没有差异。
