If you guys are interested in learning more about precolonial lgbtq+, Kirby Araullo has a great in-depth video on the subject (or, y'know, as in-depth as it can get with the scarcity of available records) Agreed that the Philippines has a long way to go, although I will say that we have more visibility now than, say, ten years ago. There are a handful of lgbtq+ people and allies who are elected in office (national and local), a couple of cities have anti-discrimination ordinances, there are areas and work spaces where being queer isn't a big deal, and it was pretty cool when several pride marches and gatherings were held concurrently across different regions. While it's still an uphill battle, we can continue to hope and work towards equality even with the current state of affairs.
Listening to ur experiences about growing with heavily catholic family really made me cry, because I can relate to all of it. 😭😭😭 I’m so scared now because I’m moving to the Philippines in few months.
but them someone came to our land and added "ang bakla ay ma pupunta sa impyerno". that's when it became bad. Colonialism f8cked us up. One only needs to look at our pre colonial history to know how truly open our society is.
As a TAUSUG QUEER Documentary Filmmaker on HISTORY & Culture.... this information about transgender holding a high position among the tausug MORO community in history is incorrect. I think you were referring to BABAYLAN......
But kudos to the team for putting up this content.... our struggle is a shared experience, and knowledge of our history should be given proper context.
The line between gay, transgender or a simple cross-dresser was not clear during precolonial times. Our precolinial ancestors didn't care about your sex and gender expressions that's why our original terms are gender-neutral.
@@rainb5987 i dont know where you are going at with this but the point of the comment is... WE DONT HAVE Male dressing as a woman or gender neutral characters in Tausug Moro history. Unless you got a scholarly data backed by historians and experts, they by all means share it. I would love to learn different information and see its validity.
Live with your chouces in life, People wont adjust from it! Face the consequences of your choices, judgements, bullying and discrimination beciz that is your CHOICE! Realtalk!
Classic gaslighting abuser excuse. Who taught you that? Your manipulative belief? 😂 Hope you get served what you deserve with the words that come out of your mouth
but this shouldnt have to be tolerated why should we have to be like this when we can deal with it in a way that will make us feel confident in ourselves this kind of thinking that we should just deal with it means you dont know what we are facing, so what we should just deal with constant bullying, hitting, abusing, name calling HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF SOMEONE DID THAT TO YOU?
Yup cuz queer or straight passing Filipinos chose to stay silent and blend in to avoid getting harassed. Must be liberating to live in a place where you don't have to fight for who your are. Not in the Philippines
No matter what it does not concern Americans what they do in the Philippines, This is decision on the majority of the Filipino people not upto America and respect their choice
leave this drama in the US please.... do not bring this in our country. I'm okay with the LGB part they have integrated here in but apprehensive with the TIA+ since they bring a lot of confusion for disregarding sex (male (p) and female (v)) . I do not want people policing me with their pronouns and such -- that's rich people problem/ first world problem.
Trans People exist especially in the Philippines and all you have to do is just deal with it because it’s none of your business and it’s not your life. If you don’t like that, you have the choice to shut the hell up and to stop spreading hate and bigotry in places and to people that don’t deserve it. Trans Women are Women and Trans Men are Men.
just admit your mind is closed to learn new information. lazy and lack of empathy and understanding. what you want is that third class citizens should remain third class. You have no difference then your colonial abuser.
I you want pure things the go to a f*ckng bible study I mean no once forcing you to love your colonial lords tool for oppression. In the same sense, give us own own space to be and voice out our case. get it? If you don't get is then you truly are simple lazy thinker.

Then stay in your own country with your own people, No need to come here stay with people of your own race
Bakla is not bad word
True
Just double meaning
but them someone came to our land and added "ang bakla ay ma pupunta sa impyerno". that's when it became bad. Colonialism f8cked us up. One only needs to look at our pre colonial history to know how truly open our society is.
depends on the intent
Omg Drama you are so handsome!! 😍😍
I love love you guys!!! ❤️

And why should we choose to tolerate the discrimination?
Curious if they’re Filipino Americans who grew up in the Philippines? Or?

They should talk about that segment in a noontime show called "Suffer Sireyna"
My cousin died a year ago. He was gay.
Some things in this comment section is why we can never move forward as a country...
the only Christian nation in Asia and also the poorest and corrupted. Holy people please reflect.
true... catholic conservatives are a sad bunch of people

Vidyo bato dba mga chatolic tayu
Chatloic = bigoted homophobes.
I have to ask you guys...have you lived in the Philippines??? You know nothing about it if you didn't live here...
They mentioned they grew up in the Philippines. And one doesn't have to live in one place to know something about what's happening in that place.

True! They teach homosexuality in schools, sex in books for 5 year olds...?????? Demonic.

I agree we do have a long way to go when it comes to LGBT+ rights in the Philippines.
No. They have the same rights as straight men and women. They do not need additional rights.
@@TrudisTrudat fym same rights when gay people can't even get married here
@@TrudisTrudat "same rights"
i don't know what world you live in since gay people can't legally be married here
Oa kaayo ka boyout..
Philippines loves the LGBT. Even our Vice President is an LGBT.
LOVES is different from the word TOLERATED. LGBT is only tolerated here in our country.
but then Filipinos canceled her when she showed her affection on TV for her boyfriend. you cant romanticize a Homophobic country girl. get real! 💅🔍
No ako not gay THERE SUS AS HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
