TRANSGENDER

An umbrella term that looks to fuse people whose sex personalities don't coordinate their natural sex, for instance, some individual who is conceived male-bodied and recognizes as a lady. The term 'Trans' incorporates the individuals who are pre or post surgery and the individuals who don't wish to attempt surgery to modify their sex.

QUEER

People who encounter fluidity they would say of sexuality or sex and along these lines don't recognize entirely as LGB or T. The term 'queer' can likewise incorporate the individuals who don't recognize as either sexual orientation.

IMPORTANCE

Many suicides and mental illness arise from being LGBTQ as it is not accepted by everyone yet. It is extremely important for humans to feel a part of something: a community, family, support groups, etc. So they won't feel lonely. It is known to every hierarchy of needs that humans are social beings. We communicate to survive. Some LGBTQ Community members may feel like they have no voice in the society which is why we aim for those who feel mute to gain confidence in their own sexuality.

"Love is for everyone and can be towards anyone"

Love and sexuality shouldn’t be limited to a specific orientation. They are universal things that should be accepted as something normal because they are. Homosexuality is not a choice but your existence is. We can start making things better- just message us anytime!

"Every type of love should be accepted and respected by everyone"

I believe acceptance towards everyone should be given more importance and should be more practiced. Many have died thinking they are lonely and that hatred and discrimination will follow them everywhere they go. I want whoever is thinking that way to view life differently and to finally see hope. Hope that there will be equality and acceptance throughout the world someday, someday soon.

"Dont ever be afraid to show your true colors"

I believe that everyone deserves to be loved. Gender doesn’t define who we are as a person. I hope someday when someone finally decides to open up to their real gender, we wouldn’t judge nor disrespect them. Instead of throwing shade at them, we must embrace and accept them.

"Stop the stigma because love is for everyone!"

LGBTQ is nothing to be afraid of because it is natural and normal. Help us stop the stigma surrounding it because love is love and everyone and everything should be accepted for who they are.

FAQs


Is homosexuality a choice?
No. Homosexuality is not a choice mainly because it is not the result of a decision or an ongoing daily effort. Just as how it is with straight people, who do not choose to be who they are. Many people discover their sexual orientation rather than choosing it during the early years of adolescence or before any romantic or sexual experience.

What is Sexual Orientation?
Sexual Orientation determines who you are sexually attracted to. However, it is more than just physical attraction towards another person, but rather, it is also about intimate feelings that are shared between two people. Sexual Orientation can be also explained by who meets those needs for you within a romantic relationship.

What is Gender Identity?
This describes what type of gender you feel inside, without considering the genitalia you are born with.

Can homosexuality be cured?
No, because initially, it is not a disorder therefore, there is no “cure”. The therapy which aims to change one’s sexual orientation is called reparative, conversion, or aversion therapy which is, according to the American Psychiatric Association, ineffective and psychologically harmful.

What does “faggot” and “dyke” mean and why is it considered offensive?
The term faggot is an insult towards a gay man. On the other hand, the term dyke is an insult towards a lesbian woman. This is offensive because by saying these words, people intend to disrespect gay and lesbian women and coming off as homophobic or someone who is not fond of homosexuality.

Where can I get a support group?
One of the difficulties in connecting for help in case you're gay is that you may feel that other people who are not gay won't comprehend your specific circumstance. Fortunately there are many care groups for LGBT individuals. Here are some support groups online:

  • SUPPORT GROUP: QUEER
  • DAILY STRENGTH SG: LESBIAN AND GAY
  • MD JUNCTION SG
  • QUEER ATTITUDE
  • It's okay to be curious! Ask away if you have some unanswered questions
