    gays are mostly tolerated, considered harmless. good looking ladyboys are generally respected a lot more than raunchy looking cross dressers. gays often build friendships with younger unmarried women and older, not so attractive women, as they are considered 'harmless' male friends, without sexual attraction issues. gays are also sometimes considered fashion guru's you will find often them at beauty parlors, working as hairstylists or manicurists. straight men often get manicures in the Philippines, does not matter if the manicurist is female or gay man.

  • actually, I think some Filipinos adopted an Indian attitude towards people of the "third sex". This includes appeasing the GAYS or LADYBOYS, because doing so otherwise will cause bad luck.

    It is also funny how you could see a LADYBOY walking into a Catholic church, and how the general crowd attitude about it seems to be indifferent.

    It varies from person to person. Generally, gays are accepted in Philippine society although there would still be some people who would think of them as you say, mental sickness or physical deformation. There are even gays/homosexuals that are respected in the Philippines. As far as I know, it's not a matter of whether a person is gay or not, it's a matter of whether you act as a decent and respectable person, then you are going to be respected in return.

    It's a form of disorders, deformity. abnormality does exist since we inherited sins. Sins produce deformity and abnormality.

    The majority of filipinos tolerate those abnormal as long as they are not noisy. Because when they open their mouths and start that abnormal manners half a man half a woman really you don't know if they are having delirium, hospital is needed for mental disorders. And when they open their mouth that smells of figurative fish really comes out.

    Its pretty much accepted fully here. Especially the younger generation almost every click of girls has at least one gay guy part of the group. They are everywhere and generally treated respectful. They also though usually treat other's with respect as well.

    For me they are not mentally sick nor physically deformed.....it's just that ''I, Them'' have different views about life.

    In fact, nobody is born perfect and holy other than the ''Almighty God and His Son''.
