Ang Ladlad’s win

Of course I’m cheering for Ang Ladlad. I wanted them to be accredited. But as golden tickets to the winner’s circle go, Ang Ladlad got something that looks closer to pyrite than anything. Putin its simplest form, the problem is this: the decision contented itself with smacking the Comelec...

So You Think You Can Be Lez?

The primitive way of viewing homosexuality is through a psychological eye. Being a lesbian is widely seen as having sexual relations with another woman. With this concept, people came up with 3 identifying components of a lesbian:

* Sexual behavior
* Sexual Desire
* Sexual Identity

Hence, homosexuality is seen as something that should be cured, if not all together admonished. Because of this primitive view on homosexuality, homosexuals are pushed to the dark alleys and back rooms of our society.

Today, I’d like to think that we’ve veered away from this concept. Homosexuality is now as much cultural and political as it is psychological. The many lesbian and gay movements prove that homosexuality is far more than just a deviation from the normal psychological development of an individual. It shouldn’t be seen as something to be cured in fear of spreading it to other people.
