The present study proposes adapting the Negative Attitudes Toward Effeminacy Scale (NATE) to the Brazilian context. Therefore,a careful process of adaptation was carried out and a survey (n = 1123) was conducted with gay men, bisexual men, and men who have sex with men, older than 18 years and mean age of 26.85 years (SD = 8.51). An Exploratory Factor Analysis suggested a new model with less items (12) and with two factors, Intimate Rejection and Public Rejection, which together explain 67.50% ofvariance, differ from the original model (one-factor and 17 items). As for internal consistency, the first factor obtained a Cronbach alpha of 0.918 and the second 0.866. This new model was tested in a Confirmatory Factor Analysis and showed good adjustment indexes in its final version. The results suggest that NATE presents good adaptation and suitable psychometric properties.
