Attitudes towards LGBTQIA+ Community Score

The degree of health of the LGBTI community is lower than other communities because of their sexual and 5
reproductive rights are not met.

There are only two genders: male and female. 2

Biologically, there are only two kinds of people: the biological women and biological men. 5
Lesbian is a woman who desperately wants to be a man. 4
I feel comfortable when I have to interact with transwomen or transmen. 4
I feel uncomfortable when I have to interact with a gay or lesbian. 2
Seeing a man who is very feminine (effeminate) disturbs me. 2
Seeing a very masculine woman (tomboy) disturbs me. 2
The gay and transgender community are highly at risk of HIV and STDs because of their sexual orientation and gender 3
identity and expression.

If one of my family members is gay, lesbian, transwomen or transmen, I'll keep it a secret because I feel ashamed. 3
I support reparative therapy / conversion (i.e. making transwomen behave like the stereotypical male; or making 3
lesbians like men)

I'm afraid to make friends with people of the same sex if I'm know that he is a homosexual because I’m certain he will 2
like me.

Gays, lesbians, transwomen or transmen experience stigma and discrimination because of their own choice to be gay, 5
lesbian, transwomen or transmen.

The risk of HIV infection has nothing to do with sexual orientation. 5

Being friends or working with a gay or lesbian can make us become gay or lesbian too 2
If I can choose, I would choose to avoid social interactions with LGBTI groups. 2
I feel comfortable working with colleagues from LGBTI groups. 5
 HIV is a punishment from God for LGBTI groups. 2
I am willing to engage in activities related to SOGIE (campaigns, education, and services). 3
I am able to empathize with children and housewives who are infected with HIV, just like I can empathize with LGBTI 5
groups who are infected with HIV.

Calculate your total score and read its corresponding interpretation below.

Write a short insight or reflection on the results of your psychometric exam.

Although, I’m no part of the LGBT+ community, I came to realize that I have nothing against the people
in the group. I don’t really see them as distinct from an ordinary person nor feel uncomfortable upon
interacting with them however, I’m not that determined to engage in activities that would fully support
them or fight for their rights. In my mind, accepting and treating them right and with respect is enough
and I don’t have to do much for them.We can't constantly tell all people what to do, in my opinion; they
already have enough rights and consideration; it's just that not everyone will always be in their best
interests.

expression, and sexual orientation.
