Do you know any articles/theories that discuss homophobia or anxiety of being gay? I would like to find reasons behind the anti-homosexual cognition (not behaviors but the psychological dynamics behind the negative thinking).
Hello,

Herek has done some excellent work from an attitude functions perspective. I'm not at my office so I don't have the citations right now, but if you want them - let me know
I feel all of these papers by Meyer may be of interest to you!
