Homophobia and transphobia are defined as a range of negative attitudes and feelings towards homosexuality and transgenderism. These phobias also affect people who are identified as or perceived as being homosexual and transgender, respectively. These negative attitudes may include antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, and irrational fear of homosexuals and/or transgender people. Being a minority population, some members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) community in Singapore may have experienced homophobia or transphobia in their lives.
Oogachaga Counselling and Support (Oogachaga) is Singapore's only community-based organisation providing counselling and support for the LGBTQ community.
In March 2012, Oogachaga conducted it first survey on homophobia and transphobia, titled “Impact of Homophobia and Transphobia on the LGBTQ individuals in Singapore”. It is also the first Singapore-based survey that is conducted to understand the possible relations between homophobic and transphobic experiences, and behavioural issues and suicidal ideations in the LGBTQ community.
We are pleased to release the summary report of this survey on 17 May 2012, which is the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia.
