MAIN LESSON

Sexual Diversity means that everyone has different understandings about what sexuality means to them.
It is

often used in the context of sexual orientation. Also refers to all sex characteristics and gender identity.

Possible Reasons for Homosexuality and Bisexuality:

• Researchers, particularly Kinsey, believed that reasons behind homosexuality and bisexuality are that
it

depends on a person’s sexual feelings and behaviors and romantic feeling.

• Some researchers also include reasons such as environment or nature, genetics/hereditary, drugs
during

labor and differences in brain structures.

• Parent-child relationship, according to some psychologists, plays a big part in producing Homosexuals
and

bisexuals, though this (evidence) are not supported.

• Some also theorize that homosexuality and bisexuality are learned or achieved through reward and

punishment procedures. This is called the Learning-Theory explanation.

Activity No 3.

Exercise No. 1

Directions: The activity is all about sexual orientation. Many times when the issue is addressed, only

homosexuality is discussed. This reinforces the idea that homosexuality is “different” and that
heterosexuality is

simply taken for granted as the “way to be.” We can learn and understand more about sexual
orientation in

general. You are to think and reflect on the given questions and write your thoughts and feelings to each

question.

Exercise No. 3

Directions: Read the short report below then answer the question after.

Students in the Philippines face bullying and discrimination over their sexual orientation and gender
identity and

many schools are not equipped to give them the support they need, a Human Rights Watch report
released

Thursday said.

"LGBT students in the Philippines are often the targets of ridicule and even violence," Ryan Thoreson, a
fellow

in the LGBT rights program at Human Rights Watch, said, citing interviews with 76 high school students
and

recent graduates who identified as LGBT or questioning.

HRW also interviewed 22 students who did not identify as LGBT or questioning, and 46 parents,
teachers,

counselors, administrators and experts.

"When I was in high school, they’d push me, punch me," Carlos M., a 19-year-old gay student from
Olongapo

City, said in the HRW report called “‘Just Let Us Be’: Discrimination Against LGBT Students in the
Philippines.”

Carlos added that the abuse did not end when classes did, saying he was followed, pushed and verbally
abused

after school.

This, despite a law against bullying and Department of Education guidelines prohibiting bullying on the
basis of

sexual orientation and gender identity, HRW said. Many of the respondents said they were not aware of
policies

against bullying or did not know who to turn to in case they were bullied or harassed.

“President Duterte has spoken out against bullying and discrimination against LGBT people in the past,
and he

should do so now,” Thoreson said.

The bullying and harassment can have long-term effects, as Benjie A., 20, says in the report. "I was
depressed,
I was bullied, I didn’t know my sexuality, I felt unloved, and I felt alone all the time. And I had friends,
but I still

felt so lonely. I was listing ways to die," he said.

RW said schools can address these issues by educating students, teachers and the staff on LGBT people
and

issues.

"Unfortunately, positive information and resources regarding sexual orientation and gender identity are

exceedingly rare in secondary schools in the Philippines. When students do learn about LGBT people and
issues

in schools, the messages are typically negative, rejecting same-sex relationships and transgender
identities as

immoral or unnatural," HRW, which notes the influence of the Catholic Church on issues dealing with
sexuality,

said.

It does not help that many school policies like those on uniforms and hairstyles forced LGBT students to

sometimes appear in a manner inconsistent with their gender identity, which, HRW said, "made them
unhappy

and uncomfortable, lessened their confidence, and impaired their concentration."

Lesson #14

For some, these policies "were sources of intense anxiety and humiliation, and in some cases led to
extended

school absences and even leaving schooling entirely."

Although there have been moves to pass an Anti-Discrimination Bill, which will prohibit discrimination
on the
basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, legislation has been met with opposition from the
church and

allied groups that tie the passage of the bill to same-sex marriage, which the bill does not seek.

HRW said that aside from speaking out against bullying, President Rodrigo Duterte can voice support for

legislation "that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, including
in

education, employment, health care, and public accommodations."

The president's PDP-Laban party enjoys supermajorities in both chambers of Congress and he can certify
pieces

of legislation as urgent to speed up the legislative process.

Local government units, meanwhile, can pass similar ordinances or release the implementing rules and

regulations for already existing ordinances against discrimination.

HRW also urged the Department of Education to train staff on LGBT issues and terminologies through
training

sessions with LGBT groups.

DepEd should review compliance with the Anti-Bullying Law and the department's policies against
bullying in

schools and recommend that schools address sexual orientation and gender identity issues, the rights
watchdog

said.

It said DepEd can also order schools to respect students' gender identity "with regard to dress codes,
access to

facilities, and participation in curricular and extracurricular activities."

HRW said the DepEd should also "immediately review all curricula, including textbooks and teaching
materials,

to ensure that LGBT issues are incorporated" while also removing material that is inaccurate or
derogatory of

LGBT people.

Question:

1. What can you possibly do as a student to prevent bullying of the LGBT group?
