Abstract

A survey of 181 students revealed that negative attitudes toward lesbians and gay men were associated with being younger having less education, being male, and having less educated parents. No ethnic differences were found. Regression analyses supported a mediational model in which low self-esteem leads to less positive contact with lesbians and gay men, which, in turn, leads to more heterosexist attitudes.
