Abstract(s)

Objective: For men, heteronormative societies often use heterosexualhomosexual dichotomy as a central symbol of masculinity. Similarly, lesbians are commonly stereotyped as ‘masculine’. The aim of the present study was to investigate if internalised homophobia is positively related to one’s the endorsement of traditional gender roles and to compare whether the hypothesised relation differs between gays and lesbians.
