 AB    Fifty-seven participants from various mental health centers and
       volunteers responding to an ad in a gay newspaper completed
       questionnaires designed to assess homophobia and self-esteem. Results
       indicated a significant relationship between homophobia and self-esteem.
       Moreover, it was found that gay males with AIDS displayed higher levels
       of homophobia and lower levels of self-esteem than healthy gay males.
       Results were interpreted employing attribution theory and self-theory.
