exploration by people who may be unsure, still
exploring, and concerned about applying a social
label to themselves for various reasons.
Cisgender is a person whose
gender identity matches their
sex assigned at birth.
WHAT IS “LGBTQCIA+”?
LGTQCIA+
Closeted and in the closet are metaphors for
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, LGBTQ+
people who have not disclosed their sexual
orientation or gender identity and aspects thereof,
including sexual identity and sexual behavior.

individual to be distinctly
identified as male or female.
WHAT IS “LGBTQCIA+”?
LGTQCIA+
Asexuality (or nonsexuality) is the

(chest, face, genitals)
3. legal: updating gender markers in personal documents

TRUE FALSE
Dakis, (2020)
Ang mga lesbians, gays,
bisexuals, at transgender
persons (LGBT) ay tanggap
dito sa Pilipinas.
Ayon sa mga pag-aaral, ang mga LGBTQIA+ ay TOLERATED
lamang sa Pilipinas at hindi tunay na tinatanggap ng
lipunan – dahil sa hindi pantay na pagtrato, at pagbibigay
ng karapatang pantao gaya na lamang ng mga natatamasa
ng mga heterosekswal na kalalakihan at kababaihan.

Dakis, (2020)
Ang mga lalaking

Ayon kay Rubio at Green (2009), mas mataas ang
porsyento na makadanas nang pagkabahala ang isang
lalaking nagkakagusto sa isa pang lalaki sa pagsunod sa
mga pamantayan ng lipunan.

Ang konsepto ng LGBTQIA+ ay
dala lamang ng mga dayuhan
at wala ito sa kultura ng mga
Pilipino.
Ayon sa mga mitolohiya ng mga sinaunang kultura ng mga
Pilipino bago pa dumating ang mga Kastila ay mayroon na
tayong kamalayan sa mga bathaluman na maaring
magkagusto sa kapwa kasarian o mga bathalumang
mayroong halong katangian at katawan ng mga
kababaihan at kalalakihan.

Stigma in public spaces
Stigma in religion
Stigma in the law
• In almost 80 countries, having a
distinctive SOGIE (e.i., LGBT) is illegal.
• In 5 countries -- Iran, Mauritania, Saudi
Arabia, Sudan, and Yemen -- the
punishment is death penalty.
Stigma in the government

(MEYER & FROST, 2013)
• Being a part of a stigmatized group negatively
impacts well-being.
STIGMA “MINORITY STRESS”
➔
(MEYER & FROST, 2013)
Discrimination – being treated unfairly by teachers,
being bullied by classmates
Concealment – being closeted, maintaining separate
lives
Internalized hate – feeling ashamed of being
LGBTQCIA+ wanting to change
Fear of rejection – feeling anxious, worrying about
negative reaction of peers, friends, parents
THE MINORITY STRESS MODEL
(MEYER & FROST, 2013)
For SOGIE distinctive people, stigma lowers well-being,
on top of other stressors.
General
stressors
Well-being
Stigma
Having a
distinctive SOGIE
• Sexual minority status,
per se, does not lead to
poor outcomes.
• Rather, experiences of
stigma and inequalities
are those that reduce
well-being for
LGBTQCIA+ people.
IN HOSTILE CONTEXTS
Hostile anti-SOGIE stigma negatively affect SOGIEs, their friends, and families. In such
environments, being SOGIE is associated with lower well-being (Mays & Cochran, 2001; Chakraborty et al.,
2011).
General

Well-being
Stigma
IN “TOLERANT” CONTEXTS
In tolerant contexts, the absence of SOGIE-affirmative policies still results in a
significant link between being SOGIE and poor mental health outcomes
(Hatzenbeuhler et al., 2009).

IN GENDER-AFFIRMATIVE CONTEXTS

SUMMARY
1. Gender equality and equity are about fundamental
aspects of human experience — happiness,
opportunities, intimacy, love, and identity.
2. Men, women, and LGBTQIA+ share the same hopes,
dreams, needs, concerns, and stressors as everyone
else.
3. Those who make things worst are those who do not
understand enough the beauty and wonder of human
sexuality
4. Gender inequality, inequity, and stigma negatively
impact wellbeing; but supportive and learned
environments that affirm gender equality, equity, and
diversity boosts wellbeing.

    SUMMARY 1. Gender equalityand equity are about fundamental aspects of human experience — happiness, opportunities, intimacy, love, and identity. 2. Men, women, and LGBTQIA+ share the same hopes, dreams, needs, concerns, and stressors as everyone else. 3. Those who make things worst are those who do not understand enough the beauty and wonder of human sexuality 4. Gender inequality, inequity, and stigma negatively impact wellbeing; but supportive and learned environments that affirm gender equality, equity, and diversity boosts wellbeing.
