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.

Please read the rest of the article here.

Hi Jasmine,

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.
