Coming Out on Christmas Day - London Gay Men's Chorus
Coming Out on Christmas Day
(To the tune of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing")
I intend to drop a bomb,
On my dear old dad and mom.
For this year, without a doubt,
Is the Christmas I come out.
First I'll get their full attention.
Then I'll drop a subtle mention
"Lovely tree, and by the way,
Some of my closest friends are gay."
That should do the job OK,
When I come out on Christmas Day.
Oh say can you see it now?
Watch my parents have a cow.
Or perhaps, if fate is kind,
They'll insist that they don't mind.
Then they'll say "We always guessed,
After all, look how you're dressed.
Seven earrings in each ear?
We're not quite that dense, my dear."
They'll be talking, anyway,
When I come out on Christmas Day.
Coming out to everyone
Makes the winter doldrums fun.
It's a noble thing to do.
Why don't you come on out too?
Make a choice, damn consequence.
Lift your voice, get off the fence.
Shout it from the highest roof
Gay is great, and you're the proof.
Make this Christmas bright and gay.
Come on out on Christmas Day.

Mplus Thailand: Animation for Transgender HIV/AIDS Outreach and Prevention with English Subtitles
Based on the interview data of a significant transgender population in Chiang Mai, Mplus+ decided to produce an animation that empowers transgender individuals to negotiate condom use with their partners. This animation was piloted with the target population and the feedback was positive. More importantly, as an animation that is made exclusively for transgenders, the narrative itself resonates with transgenders lifeworlds and provides a catalyst for informed discussion in Mplus+s outreach to this population that goes beyond simply advocating condom use. It is about raising awareness and self esteem.

Gay is Ok- Student Council Alliance of the Philippines
The Student Council Alliance of the Philippines launches the "Stop the Hate! Campaign"hinged on the Students' Rights and Welfare Bill. The message is clear and hopefully the impact would be great knowing the fact that education is one of the key in removing social stigma and stereotyping. A lot of schools have dress code policies and LGBT individuals couldn't express themselves because transgenders are forced to dress up to wear clothing meant for their assigned biological sex and not with their gender identity. Aside from the dress codes, there are still bullying happening in different schools both physically and verbally which inhibits a student to perform at his/her best.Hate should stop now. Hate should end in the educational institutions which are supposed to mold the students mentality in sexual orientation and gender identity and not mislead them to believing that homosexuality is a sin and a disorder.
From: http://scapnationwide.blogspot.com/
The Student Council Alliance of the Philippines is a national network of student councils/governments envisioning an educational system co-determined by all the stakeholders in the society who actively participate in making education accessible to all. The alliance advocates education reform through executive and legislative engagements; promotes unity, social consciousness as well as solidarity with other basic sector towards empowering student councils to act as catalyst for social change.

Face to Face: Barako Syota ay Tatlo! Nang magkaharapan, may ibukuking na totoo!
"... Gusto ko lang kasing malaman ninyo kung ano talaga ako bago ako umalis kung ano talaga ako at kung sino ako. Niloloko ko na sila, niloloko ko pa ang sarili ko... patawad, bakla po ako ma'am. "
These are the words said by Roland in this episode of Face to Face, a reality TV show that discusses different topics in our society nowadays. It was a courageous attempt to disclose his true identity and I admire him for his decision. However, I would want to express my disappointment with the reactions of the audience when his partner was asked about the reason why he stood by Roland. The audience kept on yelling "Pera!", "Magaling" thinking that same sex relationships are all about money and sex when in fact it should be about love and affection and emotional satisfaction. Too bad these people can stereotype gay relationships. I can't imagine how narrow they can be and because of this, I believe that they should be educated about the LGBT Community.
The advise of the religious counselor was that discriminating and he told Roland that God loves him despite the fact that he is gay. I hope that all preachers are like him unlike those who kept on throwing stones at us and thinks that they are righteous.
