Past research indicates that imagining contact with an outgroup member can reduce prejudice toward that outgroup (Miles & Crisp, 2014). However, for people with few experiences with outgroup members, such as gay men and lesbians who are a numerically small outgroup, imagined contact may be difficult and less effective. The current work proposes imagining contact with famous gay men and lesbians may be one way of resolving these issues and improving the efficacy of imagined contact. In one online study (Study 1) and one lab study (Study 2) we tested the hypothesis that among heterosexuals, imagined contact with famous gay men and lesbians can be an effective means of improving responses toward gay men and lesbians compared to imagined contact with non-famous gay/lesbian individuals and famous heterosexuals. Results supported our predictions demonstrating that imagined contact with famous gay men and lesbians is associated with a more pleasant imagined interaction experience, reduced sexual prejudice, and fewer concerns about being misclassified as gay or lesbian.
