Self-stigma I (or SS I) = Self-stigma: Not normal/wholesome. Self-stigma II (or SS II) = Self-stigma: Self-reproach and wishing away same-sex sexuality. SP = Sexual Prejudice.

SD = standard deviation. Means and SDs were calculated on the items’ raw scale.

Factor loadings and factor correlations were from confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The CFA model fits very well to both the lesbian sample (CFI=.99, TLI=.99, RMSEA=.056, RMSEA 90% CI=(.048,.064), chi-square(191.47, 41df) p-value<.0001) and the bisexual sample (CFI=.99, TLI=.99, RMSEA=.067, RMSEA 90% CI=(.056,.078), chi-square(158.84, 41df) p-value<.0001), and moderately well to the unsure sample (CFI=.99, TLI=.99, RMSEA=.070, RMSEA 90% CI=(.055,.086), chi-square(112.72, 41df) p-value<.0001).
