The latest Euronews Albania “Barometer” survey has put citizens in front of questions related to the LGBT+ community in the country.

In the answers to the questions asked to the citizens, the high level of general lack of familiarity with this community is evident.

To the question “in your life, have you directly met or had direct experience with any person from the LGBT community”, the percentage of those who answered no is 86.3%.

Faced with a figure of this level for lack of recognition, the other questions have put citizens in front of hypothetical situations for the presence of the LGBT community, at different levels, positions, proximity.

What seems clear is that the closer the persons of the LGBT community are supposed to be to the respondents, the higher their inadmissibility is.

To be exact, the inadmissibility of having colleagues is 61.2%.

For having a neighbor, the refusal is 63.8%.

To have managers in the workplace, 64.6% refuse.

If they are supposed to have family doctors, 64.3% say no.

Would they accept someone from the LGBT community as a friend, 73.7% refuse.

Children’s teachers, 81.1% disagree.

Asked if they would accept that a member of their family had a marriage or cohabitation, the percentage of non-acceptance is 94.2%.
