Attitudes Toward LGBTQ People in Mainland China: Results from a Williams Institute Survey

Williams Institute researchers with collaborators from Yale University surveyed the mainland Chinese public about their familiarity with and acceptance of LGBTQ people. This study examines participants’ attitudes toward policy issues such as discrimination at work, same-sex marriage, and same-sex couples raising children. We present results from the survey and a discussion of the meaning and implications of these findings to China’s LGBTQ population today.
