The aim of this study was to evaluate support for current buggery/sodomy laws in three Caribbean countries-Barbados, Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago. To complete this task, data from the 2013 Caribbean Development Research Services (CADRES) 'Attitudes towards homosexuals' surveys were employed. The data analysis revealed that a majority of heterosexuals in the sample generally supported the maintenance and enforcement of the anti-gay laws, and the main predictors of said support were race, country of residence, religiosity, interpersonal contact and beliefs about the origins of homosexuality.
本研究的目的是评估加勒比地区三个国家——巴巴多斯、圭亚那和特立尼达和多巴哥——对现行鸡奸法的支持情况。为完成这项任务,采用了2013年加勒比发展研究服务中心(CADRES)“对同性恋者的态度”调查的数据。数据分析显示,样本中的大多数异性恋者普遍支持维持和执行反同性恋法律,而上述支持的主要预测因素是种族、居住国、宗教信仰、人际接触以及对同性恋起源的看法。
