This study examined bachelor of social work students' attitudes and multiple variables to explore what factors affect students' attitudes towards gay people in Taiwan. Generally, students felt comfortable with gay people. Heterosexual and male students showed a consistent tendency to feel less comfortable with gay people. Close referents who were same-sex-oriented or accepted gay people had positive influences on students' comfort with gay people. Importantly, performing well in college-level education on gay and lesbian issues significantly affected students' attitudes. The new findings have implications for social work educators in terms of designing educational environments and course activities.
