Abstract

Generational Attitude measures the level of acceptance or non-acceptance of gay men in the community as perceived by them. This study's primary purpose is to determine the generational attitude of gays in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines. A quantitative research method was employed using a self-constructed questionnaire. Percentages, Weighted Mean, Chi-Square Test, ANOVA, and Spearman Rank Correlation were used to analyze the data collected. Overall results showed that the gay respondents' level of attitude yielded a Moderate Level of Acceptance. As a result of the survey's analysis, gay respondents think and believe that non-gays treat them appropriately. They feel that they are respected and accepted for their gay rights. The data revealed that there was a moderate level of acceptance of gay marriage. The findings of the study would form a basis for the intervention program. Moreover, the study lacked respondents who were not members of the LGBTQIA+ Community Tagbilaran. Additional research among gays who came out publicly but are not members of the LGBTQIA+ Community Tagbilaran must be conducted to validate the result of this study.
