BLNC Facets : Pride in Everyday
DJ Better Living
PARAÑAQUE
What is everyday life like as a queer person on your side of the country?
DJBL: Luckily, I live somehow near to what I assume is a friendlier nightlife scene, compared to other parts of Metro Manila, even though it’s in a different city. But to assume the whole barangay is a safe space for queer people, is also dishonest. Not all venues host LGBT+ acts or communities, which is ironic because some, if not all, the well-known subgenres of electronic music were made by marginalized people (queer and/or people of color).
What would you like Filipinos to know about the LGBTQIA+ community where you are?
DJBL: The dance floor should be for anyone to be able to express themselves. We do this by attending the club nights we want to attend, the way we dance, and the music we play as DJs. Let’s be inclusive as much as possible and make space for one another.
