June 3 Topic: Everybody Happy? Everybody Gay!

Yeeeeey!

Let's take a healthier view on our genders. Born gay, follow the ray. Born straight, refuse to hate. (copyright TopPun.com)

Rock Ed Radio will let the guests take charge: Mr. Danton Remoto, chairperson of the Ladlad Partylist confirmed with us already and so did musician, Aiza Seguerra. 2bU and Saturday's Super Inquirer Section editor, Pam Pastor. Film-makers Ramon Bautista and Jun Sabayton will drop by. We also invited Tatum Ancheta Art Director of PeopleAsia.

Paramita's frontwoman Ria Bautista will join us via text and EJ and Ding of Shu Uemura will be there if schedule permits.

Join the forum by texting NUMSG space (message) to 29107 from 8-9pm on Sunday night.

Be with Lourd and Gang as they discuss with the guests the proverbial 'nature vs. nurture' question. Are we born gay and born straight or does our environment mold our gender preference?

Are Filipinos accepting, rejecting, detesting, critical, kind or not towards those who are out?
If we are more open now, why is it still so difficult for many to come out?

Post your thoughtful comments and intelligent questions here for the June 3 episode on being gay in the Philippines.

Guidelines for questions: Walang chismis dito. Usapang ugali, musika, sining at sibika lang. (o sige, Math, Economics, and Science pwede na din)

P.S: tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk .... bawal mag hat sa Aruba.

bakit mahirap parin mag out? mahirap mag out dahil may mga tao paring takot tumanggap ng mga bagay at pangyayaring malayo sa nakasanayan...

sana lang matuto tayong magrespetuhan...

kung ayaw mo sa mga homosexuals e di wag...irespeto mo nalang sila wag mo na silang isumpa, kutyain, ihiya o husgahan...

diba? diba? apir!!

I think coming out is a matter of proving something to yourself. I mean we all want to live "steady" lives. So what, if you're a lesbian or if you're gay? As long as you know this is where you will be happy and productive then so be it.

How would a general react if his daughter/son would tell him that he/she is a lesbian/bi/gay? What if only son pa or what if only daughter pa?

mas accepted ba ang gays kaysa sa lesbians?

Luis Anthony Oliveros said...

I think the Philippines society is getting more and more gay, and now is as gay as the society can get. this is evidenced by the seemingly countless out gays everywhere you look (and a joke from a friend comes to mind, "Hindi nman sila nabubuntis pero patuloy silang dumadami")

tsk.tsk.tsk.. hayyy.. absent ako last week!!! kailangan po ba ng excuse letter? eniweiz... ipokrito ba talaga ang mga Pilipino tungkol sa mga ganitong mga bagay o sadyang naapektuhan lang tayo ng ating mga traditions and beliefs?

Tadhana ng Cavite said...

Matanong ko lang po... against ba talaga sa will ni God ang pagiging bakla? Di ba babae't lalaki lang naman ang ginawa nya nung 6th day of creation?

Tadhana ng Cavite said...

Ate Gang! thank you nga pala sa pagreet sa the sebastinian last last week... hehehe... natuwa yung mga co-staffers ko!!! ang saya-saya daw!!! Thank you ulit!

Tadhana ng Cavite said...

bakit po ba may homosexuals?

Rock Ed Radio said...

ninya, tatlong cut lang pwede ha. hehe. medical certificate okey na. wag na mag absent! ang dami mong na miss na lesson. pero salamat sa pag recite. 20% of the grade yan.

Without malice, I want to know if we have an "out" public servant. That way we can measure our society's acceptance of homosexuals. Meron bang aminadong bading o lesbyana sa Kongreso o Senado?

Papaano po ba ang kanilang ligawan? May mga common or famous pick-up lines (wink-wink doesn’t count) din po ba? And if you're in your late 30's or early 40's (not all) and still you’re not married why do some people have this tendency to question your gender?

Anonymous said...

parang lahat ng bading kong kaibigan masisipag, tapos yung kilala kong lesbyan may katamaran at tambay ang atupag. dahil ba male inclination ang tamad at productive ang inclination ng females? wala, teorya lang... gusto ko malaman sagot ni Sir Danton dito.

For the straight guests: ma'am gang and sir lourd kasama++ did you ever have a homosexual time, what about those who are gay in the show, were you ever straight?

kung full-blown lesbian o gay ka na with a relationship and all that puwede pa bang magbago? kung mag decide ako magbago, kaya ko pa ba?

First Q: bakit mahirap mag-out?

Im answering in a lesbian point of view..

it's hard because of what people perceive what lesbians are in our country..they think of lesbians or tomboys (not putting anyone down) as the security guard in school or someone like bubbles.In our country, it's still media that dictates what our views are on things. I dont think anyone wants to be associated as a "jack" in jack and jill once they come out. personally i think people fear strong women..hehehe because women rule..

Q2:bakit parang masmadaming gays sa tomboys

I think gays should thank Boy Abunda for this...wala pang glam na artista na lesbiana whose really comfortable with her sexuality and can actually come out..To bad for us lesbians not everyone has cable here and knows Ellen D. and can watch the L word.
women have difficulty to come out kase until now kahit may babae na tayong pangulo women are still seen as 2nd rate or someone who cant survive without a husband so parents definitely wont accept that their daughters be gay. With that in mind i dont any child would want to hurt their parents. minsan nga mas ok sa mga magulang mabuntis ang anak kesa maging tomboy.

Q3: Di ba babae't lalaki lang naman ang ginawa nya nung 6th day of creation?

bakit lalake't babae din kami? last i check i have all the parts that make a woman???! it's just that i love women...
