persons, one dimension of open rejection and another dimension of subtle rejection. Materials and methods: The Attitudes Toward Lesbians and Gay men (ATLG) scale,
the 8-itemHomophobia (HF-8) scale and the 16-itemInternalized Homonegativity (HNI-16) scale were applied to a non-probability sample of 231 Mexican students of medicine and psychology (54% women and 46% men). Data were analyzed through confirmatory factor analysis. Results: A two-factor model had a close fit to the data, and its fit was significantly better than the fit of a one-factor model. Conclusion: The distinctionbetween subtle and overt manifestations in the rejection toward homosexual persons can be empirically sustained. Finally, suggestions on evaluation and intervention are proposed in accordance with this two-dimensional conceptualization.
