New Ladyboys

[jake]

I would imagine gays and ladyboys get a tough time living in the Philippines

If anything i would say the Philippines is the most gay friendly country in Asia.
From what i have seen there is very little discrimination or violence against gays compared to other countries.

Very true..
I still find it hard to understand though given how strict and pious the Bishops have been over the years with the Filipino nation and yet some of biggest TV stars here are Baklat??
There doesn't ever seem to be any objections.. Its a strange one.
I must admit though..They can be bloody hilarious at times.

Totally agree about the acceptance of 'billyboys/baklas' in the Phils.

As for the priests, aren't half them supposed to be gay anyway ?

Just the same, I have to admit to sighing with relief after finding my son with a young lady in his bed.

Ok thats good to hear

My remarks were based on the fact that the Philippines is predominantly a Catholic county and like most religions the Catholic church are not renown for being very fond of gays/bakla........

The Catholic church seems to be involved in most things in the Philippines and still has a lot of influence

That was my point... You don't hear the church condemning them here..
They live amongst ordinary Filipino communities wearing their hot pants,strutting their stuff in broad daylight and no one blinks an eyelid.
They even go to church!!
