El derecho de las personas LGBTI a tener derechos.

Abstract

Discrimination is a situation in which, despite presenting similar productive characteristics, members of a minority are treated different from members of a majority group. In the case of the LGBTI community, history has witnessed different discriminatory scenarios against said community. Discrimination and rejection persist despite the recognition of the rights of the LGBTI community. Thus, not allowing society to support the rights of the LGBTI community due to ignorance, religious beliefs, ideologies, among other factors. This research aims to determine the sociodemographic and socioeconomic factors that define individuals who support the fundamental rights of the LGBTI community: marriage and the right to hold public office in Ecuador. The results show that the key to reducing discrimination is the level and quality of education a person possesses. The level of education influences the rest of the variables analyzed.
