Does the introduction explain the objective of the research presented in the preprint?: Yes; The author discussed the topic extremely well bringing literature and information from different sources however the introduction has a couple of typing or spelling errors. For instance, paragraph 1line 1(homphobia instead of homophobia). The author also needs to choose a tense in terms of writing this section and stick to it throughout.
Are the methods well-suited for this research?: Neither appropriate nor inappropriate; I find the study to have a lot of methodological concerns and will recommend the author follow guidelines for such studies or study design. The method and the results section are currently mixed up. What is the study design, how did the study sample arrive, and other key points that can help readers understand the methods used and promote replicability? I would say study tools and measures instead of materials. Why was the chosen population for this study selected? What criteria were considered? What ethical considerations were put in place before participant recruitment?
Are the conclusions supported by the data?: Somewhat unsupported
Are the data presentations, including visualizations, well-suited to represent the data?: Neither appropriate and clear nor inappropriate and unclear
How clearly do the authors discuss, explain, and interpret their findings and potential next steps for the research?: Somewhat clearly; The first paragraph of the results section should be part of the method section titled data analysis.
Is the preprint likely to advance academic knowledge?: Moderately likely
Would it benefit from language editing?: No
Would you recommend this preprint to others?: Yes, but it needs to be improved; The authors were clear in the presentation of key findings however, the method used is not known. The method is too narrow.
Is it ready for attention from an editor, publisher or broader audience?: No, it needs a major revision
