摘要：

This study investigates whether homophobic labels and category-neutral terms are differently appraised as a function of levels of coming-out. After reporting their coming-out status, participants were exposed to either homophobic or category labels and reported their semantic associations, level of internalized homophobia, and body perceptions. Results show that labels were more positively evaluated as participants' coming-out increased. High-coming-out individuals reported higher internalized homophobia and body concerns in the homophobic rather than category labels condition. Low-coming-out individuals displayed the reverse pattern.
