Attitude Questionnaire

Determine a group’s attitude toward bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgender people

Consisted of 21 primary questions

Questions tended to ask if something would make the person uncomfortable with options of yes, somewhat, don’t know, probably not, or no

Sent out in early March

38 people responded to the survey

What constitutes a significant result? We are interested in the
