Lesbian Parenting in the Philippines
Monday, May 11, 2009
This has been a long overdue post because the Lesbian Parenting forum I attended was last April 18. Even though it's already been a month, it still deserves a spot here in my blog because I believe that it is one of the issues some lesbians here in the Philippines face.
What makes a family? It is not just a biological concept anymore, in fact it has evolved into a social construct. We sometimes consider long time colleagues at work as our family. The rigidity of the family as a biological concept sometimes become the root of bigotry and homophobia.

Hi Jasmine,
Thanks :) If there was free wifi there, I could have blogged live but unfortunately there's none. hehe.
you've done a great job anyhow. in future similar fora maybe you could get a sponsor for your live blogging--maybe smart ;) we can dream on.
wahaha. dream on. but it's ok, don't need sponsors for as long as there is free wifi or if my smart mobile phone has load. lol. :) thanks for the kind words, greatly appreciated :)
