Abstract

Discrimination toward the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) groups is one of the most frequently debated topics and is with much research value. The degree of discrimination toward gender identities and sexual orientation differs from one’s own is tested in this paper. This research targets the middle-aged population in China. 40 students from primary schools were randomly selected and did an Speeded Categorization Task (SCT) with interviews. By analyzing their score and narratives, the SCT reflects instinct responses, suggesting a reliable response from the population. The result of this research was that children showed almost no discrimination to any of the LGBTQ groups. This may indicate that education and social norms affected people’s discrimination toward others in a deeper way.
