Majority of Guyanese accept or tolerate LGBTQ persons, study finds

A study of the perceptions and attitudes towards lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) persons in Guy-ana, suggests that a majority of Guyana either accept or tolerate LGBTQ persons.

The findings, according to the Society Against Sexual Orientation Discri-mination (SASOD), which commissioned the study, is a tremendous improvement since the last study was done and shows that Guyanese are ready for the legislative and policy changes to better protect LGBTQ persons.

The 2013 study was conducted by Caribbean Development Research Services (CADRES) and this one was executed by RMK Consulting Enterprise.
