Just in time for Pride Month, Perci Cendaña, president of Babaylanes Inc., talked about the current pressing issues being faced by Filipino LGBT+ members of today.
According to the LGBT+ advocate, social media has opened many opportunities for the queer community “to share their experiences and narratives.”“Nakikita natin ito sa iba pang bahagi sa mundo. ‘Yung mga conservatives, 'yung mga misogynists, 'yung mga homophobic, 'yung mga transphobic forces sa ating lipunan, patuloy na namamayagpag so nakakabahala,” he added.Cendaña also talked about the difference between “tolerance vs. acceptance” in the LGBT+ community in the Philippines.
"Ang ating pong initutulak, 'yung pagtanggap, acceptance. Kasi 'pag acceptance, kinikilala na mayroon tayong pantay na karapatan,” he added.When it comes to coming out, Cendaña said it has two levels: coming out to yourself and accepting it fully and coming out to others.
