Are we homophobes or not?

Are we homophobes or not?
ACT Hot News

The International Day against Homophobia was marked yesterday, on May 17, regarding that, a group of certain citizens planned to march from the territory of Tbilisi Concert Hall towards the Liberty Square. However, the procession was canceled and noisy gathering ended up in conflict. This event was under the attention of media and social networks and became main news of the day.

ACT was interesting to find out the scale of this problem – the conflict was caused by contradiction between two small groups (participants of a march and Union of Orthodox Christian Parents), though masses of people feel aggressive towards the sexual minorities. 

Please tell me, what is your attitude towards the sexual minorities?
 
As the survey results show, the majority (58%) of Tbilisi residents have negative attitude towards LGBT people. 38% of the respondents are neutral and only insignificant part of Tbilisi dwellers have positive attitudes towards them.

Gender breakdown
 
The results show that men feel more negative towards LGBT people than women. In sum, it can be said that rate of Homophobia is high and our level of tolerance towards the sexual minorities is minimal. 

426 adult residents of Tbilisi have been inquired on the basis of representative selection. Data statistic error does not exceed 4.7%
