In the article, In the Shadows of Stonewall: Examining Gay Transnational Politics d the
Diasporic Dilemma, by
Martin F. Manalansan IV, he discusses the Stonewall movement for gay rights. The
article discusses how the media portrayed certain events that happen but not
the events that lead to it. The Stonewall movement is discussed of a huge move towards
progress for the queer community. Unfortunately, that is not the case for all
members of the queer community because even within the queer community there is
those who experience more struggles than others. Queer people of color have
always experience more discrimination than their fellow queer peers. Queer
Filipino individuals suffer exclusion from Filipino culture because the terms
used to identify queer members of their community are too shallow that doesn’t truly
represent them. Even though Stonewall was the first step towards queer
acceptance and equity, there are still many more things that need to be done!
Question: What actions do queer Filipino individuals need
to take so that their can be more acceptance of queer people in the Filipino
culture?
