The research design was descriptive - correlational with a sample of 406 students, including boys and girls, from 1st to 5th level of secondary education. They were evaluated using the Acosta 's Adaptation (2010) of the Sexism Detection Scale (Ramos, Cuadrado and Recio 2007), and the Paredes' Adaptation (2013) of the Modern Homophobia Scale (Raja and Stokes 200S). The results of the study exhibit a very significant, direct and strong relationship indicating that the greater sexism in adolescents, the more homophobic attitudes they show. A correlation of (r=.641 ** p<.01) was obtained for hostile sexism and homophobia toward gays, while a correlation of (r=. 658** p<.01) was obtained for hostile sexism and homophobia toward lesbians. A correlation of (r=.574** p <.01) was obtained for benevolent and sexism and homophobia toward gays, while a correlation of (r=.646** p <.01) was obtained for benevolent sexism and homophobia toward lesbians. There are levels of sexism by gender, a high level of hostile and benevolent sexism formale population with 14.1 % and 15.7%, respectively.
