We are conducting a study of religious people’s experience of religious freedom and discrimination, and of their attitudes toward lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender, and other genders and sexualities such as queer (LGBT+).
We are asking for your assistance in distributing this survey. We are distributing the survey through local religious congregations and groups.

The survey is for anyone who considers themselves religious, is over 18 years old, and lives in Australia. The survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete.
The project is being led by Prof Douglas Ezzy from the School of Social Sciences at the University of Tasmania.

It is funded by an Australian Research Council (ARC) grant and has been approved by the Tasmania Social Sciences Human Research Ethics Committee, with Project ID: 23410.
