| description | Heteronormativity is institutionalized and the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) community often faces challenges because of their sexual orientation and gender preference. The process of coming out is contested and negotiated. With this observation, this study explores the salient experiences of selected members of the Filipino LGBTQ community regarding their coming out as homosexuals. A qualitative approach was used to gather and analyze data to comprehend the experiences of gay and lesbian individuals as they navigate their coming out journey. The study engages 25 participants through referrals. Findings reveal that non-heterosexual females exhibit a greater degree of fluidity in their gender identity, compared to non-heterosexual males, who primarily identify as gays. The process of “coming out” is deeply intertwined with the presence and acceptance of non-heterosexual individuals within the family. |
