Modern Homonegativity Scale by Morrison and Morrison

Cottrell, C. A., & Neuberg, S. L. (2005). Different emotional reactions to different groups: A sociofunctional threat-based approach to 'prejudice.' Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 88, 770-789.

Attitudes Towards Lesbians and Gay Men Scale (ATLG and ATLG-S; Herek, 1984)

Support for Lesbian and Gay Human Rights Scale (SLGHR; Ellis, Kitzinger, & Wilkinson, 2002).

GASP web page http://www.psych.utah.edu/gasp/index.html which has a data base of scales related to LGB issues

Greg Herek has the HATH scale...Heterosexual attitudes toward Homosexuality.

Handbook of Sexuality-related Measures was useful. It was published in 1998 by Sage Publications. I found the following measures in the Handbook:

Index of Homophobia (Index of Attitudes toward homosexuals; Ricketts & Hudson)

Internalized Homophobia Scale (IHS; Wagner)

Attitudes toward lesbians and gay men scale (Herek)

Heterosexual attitudes toward homosexuality scale (HATH; Larsen)

Evaluation thermometer measure for assessing attitudes toward gay men (Haddock & Zanna)
