Research BackgroundBack

In October 2012, Hon Cyd Ho Sau-lan, Legislative Councillor commissioned the Public Opinion Programme (POP) at the University of Hong Kong to conduct the “Survey on Hong Kong Public’s Attitudes Towards Rights of People of Different Sexual Orientations” aiming to understand citizens’ attitudes towards the rights of people of different sexual orientation and related opinions on them. In October 2013, Hon Cyd Ho Sau-lan commissioned POP again to conduct this “Survey on Hong Kong Public’s Attitudes Towards Rights of People of Different Sexual Orientations 2013” which targeted at Hong Kong residents aged 18 or above who speak Cantonese. The survey was specifically designed to track and understand citizens’ attitudes towards the rights of people of different sexual orientation and related opinions on them, and to compare the results with that of the previous survey.

The survey questionnaire was designed independently by POP after consulting Hon Cyd Ho Sau-lan, all fieldwork operations, data collection and analysis were also carried out independently by POP, and POP would take full responsibility for all the findings reported herewith. The survey methodology and results are open to the public.
