Most Filipino adults agree that gays and lesbians are just as trustworthy as any other citizen, a Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey showed.
According to the poll body’s study conducted from March 26 to 29 this year, 79% of the 1,200 respondents agree to a statement stating that they trust gays or lesbians as much as any other Filipino.
The survey, which was released on Friday, said only 7% said they do not trust gays or lesbians while 13% were undecided.
The same poll showed that 73% of the respondents think that members of the LGBTQIA+ community “contributed a lot in the progress of the society.” To this, only 8% disagreed and the remaining 19% were undecided.
Apart from the positive results towards the views on gays and lesbians, the results also said 43% of the participants think that sexually transmitted diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, are confined to members of the said community.
It also showed 40% of respondents want their gay or lesbian family members “to change and become straight men and women.”
The poll also said 26% claimed that “being gay or lesbian is contagious.”
SWS said the non-commissioned survey had a sampling error at ±2.8%.
Parang ang weird ng result no? Sige trustworthy sila, pero mas gusto ko na maging straight sila. It really highlights na hanggang tolerance lang talaga ang nakukuha ng LGBT dito instead of acceptance. Would have liked to see perception on the trans community though.
Did you just speak 3 languages in one comment? Are you a wizard?
I take it you’re not from the Philippines? Anyway, it was just 2 (English and Filipino.) Code-switching is very common here.
