RULES MEETS IDENTITY: Redefining School Grooming Policies for 2026
For decades, grooming policies in schools have symbolized discipline, respect, and order. In the Philippine education system, uniforms, prescribed hairstyles, and appearance standards were designed to create equality and focus inside classrooms. These traditions are not without value. However, as we step into 2026, the question is no longer whether grooming policies are important, but whether they still serve the true purpose of education. Hindi na pareho ang mundo ngayon. St

VICE GANDA'S VICTORY IS OURS TOO: When "Call Me Mother" Put Queer Excellence at the Center
Sa loob ng maraming taon, madalas ikahon si Vice Ganda sa mga label na comedian, host, entertainer. Pero binasag ng Call Me Mother ang mga kahong ito. Kinailangan ng pelikula ng vulnerability, restraint, at emosyonal na katapatan, at mahusay itong naibigay nang buong-buo ni Vice. Ipinakita ng pelikula na puwedeng magsabay ang comedy at drama, at na ang pagiging queer ay dagdag-lalim, hindi hadlang, sa pagkukuwento.

EDITORIAL: Respect Is Not Complicated. Pero Bakit Parang Oo?
Palagi kong pinaniniwalaan na ang karapatang pantao ay hindi lang nabubuhay sa mga batas, deklarasyon, o malalaking talumpati. Nabubuhay ito sa kung paano tayo kumilos at makitungo sa isa’t isa araw-araw. Kaya minsan, napapaisip ako kung bakit ang simpleng respeto na isang bagay na dapat automatic para sa lahat, ay parang nagiging bihira at pahirapan pa ring maibigay para sa maraming LGBTQIA+ individuals? Madalas nating ilarawan ang equality na parang malaking laban sa korte

TAMA NA ANG RESILIENCE!
Hindi kami inspirasyon. Tao kami. Pagod na. Hindi kami dapat sumikat sa news kasi ang galing namin mag-survive. Dapat masabi sa news na safe, handa, at protektado ang mga tao, kasi gumagana ang gobyerno. Filipinos will always help each other.Totoo yan. Pero hindi ibig sabihin nun papayag tayong habambuhay na lang na ganito.

TRANSGENDER AWARENESS MONTH: Ang Papel ng "Family Acceptance" sa Buhay ng mga Transgenders
Maraming trans individuals ang lumalaban araw-araw sa tanong na:
“Kung sabihin ko ba ang totoo, matatanggap pa rin kaya nila ako?”
At doon nakasalalay ang kanilang pag-asa. Dahil ang pagtanggap ng pamilya ay hindi lang nakakapagpabago ng buhay. It saves lives.

EUPHEMISM: The Double-Edged Tongue
Sa bawat tawa, biro, o palusot na salita, minsan hindi natin namamalayan na may bigat itong bitbit. Bilang bahagi ng LGBT community at advocate sa FTS LOBO, isa sa mga bagay na madalas kong napapansin ay kung paano ginagamit ng tao ang euphemisms o ang mga salitang pampalambot o palusot, kapag tungkol na sa atin ang usapan. Ilan sa mga karaniwang naririnig natin: “malambot,” “hindi straight,” “iba ang trip,” o “creative.” Sa una, parang harmless lang, minsan nakakatawa pa. Pe

CROSSROADS: Walking the Line Between Fighting and Silence
There are times when I find myself wrestling with a painful truth: Where do we draw the line between fighting for what is right, and choosing silence because the very people who should support us have left us behind? As advocates, as members of a community that longs for equality and recognition, we know too well that the hardest battles are not always fought in public arenas. Often, they are fought within ourselves, when our hearts whisper to keep going, yet our strength fa

FTS LOBO: When Protection Turns to Abandonment
There is a deep hurt in knowing that the very people entrusted to protect and support organizations like ours are the same ones who turn away. As FTS LOBO Organization, we have stood firm in our mission, to create safe spaces, to empower creativity, and to champion equality. Yet, despite our efforts, we have often been left behind, unseen, and even discriminated against in silence. It is painful when those in power fail to recognize our work, when opportunities pass us by, an

STOP THE STIGMA: Makeup Brush at Gunting Lang? Tse.
Alam mo yon, kapag sinabi mong LGBTQIA+, ang unang pumapasok sa isip ng iba ay “pang-parlor,” “pang-makeup,” “pang-salon.” Pero teka lang. Hindi lang doon umiikot ang mundo ng LGBTQIA+ community. Oo, marami ang magagaling sa ganitong mga larangan, at we’re proud of that! Pero sana, wag nating ikahon ang kakayahan nila sa gunting at hair dye lang. Maraming LGBTQIA+ ang mga propesyonal na guro, doktor, engineer, abogado, scientist, artists, at leaders. May mga negosyante, commu
