          Abstract

          La homofobia persiste en muchas sociedades occidentales, incluida la chilena. Solo recientemente se han desarrollado estudios psicosociales que evalúan la homofobia y su impacto sobre la vida de las minorías sexuales. En este artículo se exponen los hallazgos más recientes relativos al tema. Asimismo, este artículo constituye un llamado a investigar el prejuicio y sus efectos en las minorías sexuales desde una perspectiva más comprehensiva y no desde una postura individualista, que considera la homosexualidad como un "problema" y no atiende a la función social del prejuicio, esto es, sostener y legitimar el dominio de unos grupos sobre otros.

          Translated abstract

          Homophobia still exists in many Western societies, including the Chilean one. Only recently psychosocial studies have been conducted to assess homophobia and its impact on the life of sexual minorities. This paper deals with the latest findings on this issue. Moreover, the paper is a call for studying prejudice and its effects on sexual minorities from a more comprehensive perspective, not from an individualistic standpoint that considers homosexuality as a "problem", without paying attention to the social function of prejudice, that is, sustain and legitimize the dominance of some groups over others.
