Title: Stigma and sexual orientation
Description: Whether engendered by homophobia, heterosexism, or general prejudice, violence and discrimination continue to hound the gay community as attacks persist in the courtroom, on the streets, and in the voting booth. Stigma and Sexual Orientation makes a significant contribution toward the deeper understanding of homophobia, in addition to providing much-needed insight into the issue of prejudice in general. Under the editorship of Gregory M.

Herek, discussions in this volume include the nature of antigay prejudice, stereotypes, and behaviors; the consequences of homophobia and related phenomena on the well-being of lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals; and the critical need for psychology and science to confront homophobia and related issues.
