I Will Survive

I Will Survive
I Will Survive

Singaporean queer resilience, raw and deeply human

This is a moving read if you want real stories that feel immediate, intimate, and brave. Through 21 personal accounts, it shows how people survive bullying, rejection, grief, illness, and love in ways that are painful but also deeply affirming. Readers often come away feeling heartbroken, angered, and strangely hopeful all at once.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

What is it like to be gay and experience bullying in school or National Service? How do you deal with being rejected by your family and religious group because of your sexual orientation? How are women's experiences different or similar to men's? What does one go through in an abusive same-sex relationship, or when one loses a partner to suicide? What does a transgender man or woman go through in Singapore? When you have been diagnosed with a lifelong illness, how do you continue living? This collection brings together real-life experiences of love, grace, faith, dignity and courage from 21 ordinary gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in Singapore who have survived extraordinary circumstances. We will live. We will thrive. We will survive.
