[摘要] 笔者主要以中国、美国、加拿大及少数其他国家的非同性恋者（异性恋者）为研究对象，对比中西方对同性恋及同性婚姻的接受度，进行了调查分析。同性恋在自古以来就是不可漠视的一种社会现象，但由于社会道德传统等问题，这类群体总是处在灰暗的阴影下。而随着社会的发展，人们的思想和行为都越来越开放，同性恋这类群体也渐渐被一些国家接受，在经过漫长的思想解放（同性恋群体游行等）后，同性婚姻也成为了社会关注的一个重点，2001年荷兰的法律肯定，更是为同性恋人提供了一个有力的保障，但是，就中国而言，同性恋者乃至是同性婚姻还是在很大程度上是不能被接受的。就其中西方的差异，本文对此作了探讨。本文以问卷调查和访谈相结合的方式以中国、加拿大、美国和少数其他国家的人群为研究对象，以相同的问题寻求中西方在同性恋和同性婚姻问题上的不同，笔者从同性恋和同性婚姻两个大方向出发，以社会对此的总看法为基础，以理论和法律知识为支撑，致力于探究社会以有色眼镜看待这类群体的原因，从而为同性恋群体争取平等的权益和正常的生活环境，借鉴西方在这方面的发展，使更多的人关注这类群体并给予帮助。
