2026 F&M Global Barometers LGBTQI+ Perception Index Survey

Welcome to the 2026 F&M Global Barometers LGBTQI+ Human Rights Perception Index Survey!

This survey is for individuals identifying as LGBTQI+, which includes lesbian, gay, homosexual, bisexual, transgender, queer, and/or intersex identities, among others. It should take 2–5 minutes to complete. All survey responses are completely confidential and anonymous, according to the highest international research standards.

We, the F&M Global Barometers, would like you to reflect on your human rights experiences as an LGBTQI+ person in your country. Your responses will help us understand changes in global LGBTQI+ human rights over time. Please direct questions or concerns to Dr. Susan Dicklitch-Nelson, Principal Researcher of the F&M Global Barometers, at gbgr@fandm.edu.  

Our survey has been reviewed and approved by the Franklin & Marshall College Institutional Review Board (IRB). Informed consent can be found here. Questions concerning your rights as a participant in this survey may be addressed to the current Chair of the IRB at irb@fandm.edu.
