ISSUES SA A D SD

I know what my SOGIE is.

I believe that SOGIE only applies

to the members of the LGBTQ+

community

I judge someone’s SOGIE based

on how they dress and present

themselves.

I think that gay guys want to be

women. Lesbians want to be men.

I don’t consider heterosexuality as

a sexual orientation.

I doesn’t matter to me if someone

 has their preferred pronouns

(he/him; she/her; they/them).

I believe that there are only two

genders: male and female.

I think bills such as the SOGIE-

Anti- Discrimination Bill needs to

passed.

2. What is the degree of understanding of college students towards LGBTQ+

in terms of:

4 3 2 1

HISTORY SA A D SD

Early records of LGBTQ+ people’s

existence date back from the 16 th-

 17th century with the babaylan and

katalonan.

The babaylan and katalonan are

cross-dressing priest and

priestesses that are revered by the

pre-colonial society.

Colonialism eradicated the

existence of these specific type of

people.

The Spanish introduced the idea of

machismo and ridiculed the

concept of gender crossing.

The rise of HIV-AIDS cases were

attributed to the LGBTQ+

community.

The rise of LGBTQ+ visibility

hastened the passing of the anti-

discrimination bill.

CURRENT ISSUES IN THE SOCIETY SA A D SD

 The LGBTQ+ community are seen

as a minority in the present.

The risk of getting HIV-AIDS has

nothing to do with sexual

orientation.

The members of the LGBTQ+

community are not seen as

functioning members of the society.

Gays and trans people are still

seen as comic relief or as someone

that’s to make fun of.

The LGBTQ+ community should

have the same rights as straight

people.

The passing and enactment of the

soon to be SOGIESC-Anti-

Discrimination Law will harm the

rights and beliefs of others.
