BLNC Facets : Pride in Everyday

Ida Siasoco

MANDALUYONG

What is everyday life like as a queer person on your side of the country?

IS: I am fortunate enough to be able to express myself the way that I am, freely and confidently. I take that opportunity and privilege and use the platform that I have to nurture the energy around me, spread awareness and messages of inspiration. I'm grateful to be surrounded by a safe space through my friends who inspire me to live and love freely. With them by my side, I know I am loved and I am enough.

What would you like Filipinos to know about the LGBTQIA+ community where you are?

IS: As queer Filipinos, we've come so far and there is still a long, long way to go. Our pride and battle for equality does not start and end in one month; it's a continuous fight for rights, for freedom, for justice.
