4 3 2 1
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.
4 3 2 1
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.
