The objective of the research study was to find the extent to which disgust propensity-sensitivity is related to attitude towards homosexuals among parents. This study included 160 participants who were parents ranging in age of 21 to 70 from urban and rural localities of India. The study was conducted using the tools, Disgust propensity and sensitivity scale – Revised (DPSS-R) and The Development of Attitudes towards Homosexuality Scale for Indians (AHSI). The study used a correlational research design and the statistical analyses used were correlation, independent sample t-test and regression analysis. The study tested eight hypotheses and found a negative correlation between disgust propensity-sensitivity and attitude toward homosexuals among parents. The findings also revealed that disgust propensity-sensitivity has a significant impact on attitudes toward homosexuals. The results also showed that there is significant gender difference in attitude towards homosexuals among parents. According to the study, as parents' disgust propensity-sensitivity increases, attitude toward homosexuals decrease. The study also found that mothers have a more favourable attitude toward homosexuals than fathers. This study may aid in raising parental awareness of homosexuality and to raise awareness on how controlling the feeling of disgust can help in betterment of attitude towards homosexuals
