"LGBTQ Human Rights in Phillipines": Philippines Asia Homosexuality Pew Research Center

The Philippines ranks as one of the most gay-friendly nations in Asia, according to a 2013 global survey. The survey found that 73% of Filipinos agreed that homosexuality should be accepted by society, up from 64% in 2002. The historic views in indigenous Philippine cultures prior to the influence of Islam and Christianity, which were more accepting of gender diversity, as well as modern media attention on LGBT issues, have contributed to the high level of acceptance in the Philippines.

“LGBTQ HUMAN RIGHTS IN PHILLIPINES”

The Philippines is ranked one of the most gay-friendly


nations in Asia. The country ranked as the 10th most gay-
friendly in a 2013 global survey covering 39 countries, in
which only 17 had majorities accepting homosexuality.
Titled "The Global Divide on Homosexuality," the survey
conducted by the Pew Research Center showed that 73% of
adult Filipinos agreed with the statement that
"homosexuality should be accepted by society," up by nine
percentage points from 64% in 2002. The main reasons for the
high percentage of LGBT acceptance in the Philippines are
the archipelago's historic point of view and respect to gender-
shifting and non-based gender roles before the 12th century
which have been inputted in indigenous cultures prior to
Islamization and Christianization and the current public
mediums (television, writings, radios, and social media) that
have set a spotlight on the sufferings of countless LGBT
Filipinos in their own country due to colonial-era and
colonial-inspired religions
