Buck’s talk, “Concerns Over Misidentification and the Avoidance of Sexual Minorities”, presented findings that show that concerns over the potential for being mispercieved as a sexual minority can lead some heterosexual individuals to exhibit increased bias against lesbian women and gay men.  

This talk was included as part of a symposium on the implications of misidentification concerns for sexual prejudice and political decision making, chaired by E. Ashby Plant and Jennifer LaCrosse from Florida State University.
