Chapter I
Introduction
Background of the study
Schools and their families should be safe places for everyone. But in the
Philippines, students who are gays often find that their schooling experience is marred by
bullying, discrimination, lack of access to homosexuality related information, and in
some cases, physical or sexual assault. These abuses can cause deep and lasting harm and
curtail students’ right to education, protected under Philippine and international law.
Whether it takes physical, verbal, or sexualized forms, in person or on social media,
bullying endangers the safety, health, and education of Gays. Studies in the Philippines
and elsewhere have found that, among young Gay people, “low self-esteem and poor
self-acceptance, combined with discrimination was also linked to destructive coping
behaviors such as substance use or unprotected sex due to anxiety, isolation and
depression.
Anyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, can support gay
people. Deepening your understanding of gays related issue, including basic terms and
concepts, can help you support gays. You may have heard of the term “ally” in relation to
gays issues. Here we describe some ways to think what ally “means and provide helpful
tips on how to be one. As it was in 2013, when the question was last asked, attitudes on
the acceptance of homosexuality are shaped by the country in which people live. Those in
Western Europe and the Americas are generally more accepting of homosexuality than
are those in Eastern Europe, Russia, Ukraine, the Middle East and Saharan Africa. And
public in the Asia Pacific region generally are split. This is function not only of economic
development of nation, but also religious and political attitudes. But even with here sharp
divides, views are changing in many of the countries that have been since 2002, when
few research center first began asking this question. In many nations, there has been an
increasing acceptance of homosexuality, including in the United States, where72% says it
should be accepted compared with just 49% as recently as 2007. The concept of gays
pride makes an explicit shift from shame to pride, gays are no longer afraid to embrace
their sexuality in public. A year after the riot activist began to organize an event to
2
commemorate the incident. on June 28, 1980 the Christopher Street Liberation Day
March was held to celebrate the first anniversary of the stone wall uprising
(Solomon2019). Eventually, June is chosen to commemorate the stone wall riots by
celebrating Gay Pride Month every year to recognize the impact of the riots for gays
which people received. The philosophy of gay pride assures that sexuality not only is but
also should be the primary source of identification, community, and self-esteem
(Connell295, 24) the corollary concept of “cut and proud” links pride to self-disclosure,
so that caning out and pride become nearly synonymous. This research examines changes
in public acceptance of homosexuality and gay rights across time and countries, it
considers 1) what the trends have been and how changes vary across countries, 2) cross-
national differences in support of and gay rights and that country-level factors explain the
cross-national variation, 3)demographic correlates of support for homosexuality gay
rights, 4) the connection of cohort differences to trends, and 5) the lomlaned rote of
individuals and country-level variables on shaping attitudes towards homosexuality and
gay rights.

1. To help gays about their self identity and their relationship to others.
2. To provide a valuable stepping stone to new understanding of gender and sexuality in
a safer environment.
3. To gain a better understanding of the unique challenges gays face in society.
4. To recognize the different experiences of individuals who identify themselves as gay.
5. To learn how to provide them with necessary support and resources to live a full and
meaningful life.

Conceptual Framework
A. Age
B. Economic Status
2.What are the common crises faced by the gays of Junior High School and Senior
High School students in Aurora National High School?
3. How does the respondent perceived the common crises faced by them?
Hypothesis:
Ho: There is no significant relationship between the age of the respondents to the identity
crisis they faced towards to their peers.
6
The study is limited to know the different responses of the respondents of the
identity crises they faced towards their relationship to their peers.
The subject of the study will be gays of both Junior and Senior High School from
Aurora National High School Student. We will get at least 15 respondents from the
Senior High School and 15 respondents from the Junior High School.
Peers – This study is to help gays understand themselves better. Moreover they will
develop their friend to have a communicative skills and building a stronger relationship.
Guidance Counselor – The result of this study is to help to assist and advise Students
how to act better in normal ways as other are.
Future Researchers – It will provide a baseline data for those who wanted to conduct
researches related to this.

Chapter II
The gay is a complex and multifaceted topic. For centuries, gays have been subject to
discrimination, marginalization, and oppression. This has resulted in a lack of understanding and
acceptance of the gay community, as well as a lack of research into the lives of gays. As a result,
the literature about the gays is still relatively limited. In recent years, however, the gay community
has become more visible and accepted in many parts of the world. This has resulted in an increase
in research into the lives of gays. In particular, there has been a focus on understanding the
experiences of gays in terms of their social, psychological, and physical health. One of the most
important areas of research into the gays is the study of the impact of discrimination and stigma on
their lives. Studies have shown that discrimination and stigma can lead to a range of psychological
and physical health issues, including depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. In addition,
discrimination and stigma can lead to social isolation and a lack of access to resources, which can
further exacerbate these health issues. Another important area of research into the gays is the study
of their relationships. Studies have found that gay relationships can be just as strong, committed,
and loving as heterosexual relationships. In addition, research has found that gay relationships can
be beneficial for both partners, providing emotional and psychological support.
Gender identity is an incredibly important and complex topic that is becoming increasingly
relevant in today’s society. It is a concept that is deeply rooted in the idea of self-expression and
understanding, and it is important that we as a society strive to create an inclusive environment
where everyone feels comfortable expressing their gender identity. Gender identity is an
individual’s internal sense of their own gender. It is not necessarily the same as one’s biological
sex, and it can be expressed in a variety of ways such as through clothing, hairstyle, and other
forms of self-expression. It is important to note that gender identity is not a binary concept, and
that there are many different gender identities that exist beyond the traditional male and female
categories. For example, individuals may identify as transgender, non-binary, gender fluid, or a
gender. The concept of gender identity is closely related to gender roles, which are social
expectations of how people should behave based on their gender. Gender roles can be restrictive
and can limit people’s ability to express their gender identity in the way that they want. For
9
example, a person who identifies as male may feel uncomfortable wearing traditionally
“feminine” clothing, or a person who identifies as female may feel uncomfortable wearing
traditionally “masculine” clothing. It is important to recognize that gender roles can be oppressive
and that everyone should be allowed to express their gender identity in the way that feels most
comfortable to them. It is also important to recognize that gender identity is not static and can
change over time. People may feel that their gender identity is different from the gender they were
assigned at birth, and this is known as being transgender. It is important to create an accepting and
supportive environment for transgender individuals and to recognize that gender identity is an
individual’s right to self-expression. Gender identity is an incredibly important and complex topic,
and it is important that we as a society strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone
feels comfortable expressing their gender identity. We must recognize that gender identity is not a
binary concept and that there are many different gender identities that exist beyond the traditional
male and female categories. We must also recognize that gender roles can be oppressive and that
everyone should be allowed to express their gender identity in the way that feels most comfortable
to them. Finally, we must recognize that gender identity is not static and that transgender
individuals should be accepted and supported. By doing so, we can create a more inclusive and
understanding society.
LGBTQ+ activists and allies. They have worked tirelessly to raise awareness about the various
forms of sexual orientation and to push for greater acceptance and understanding. This has led to
the passage of laws in many countries that protect LGBTQ+ people from discrimination. It is
important to remember that sexual orientation is not a choice. It is an innate part of who we are,
and it should be respected and accepted. We should strive to create a world where people of all
sexual orientations feel safe and accepted. We should also strive to create a world where people
can express themselves without fear of judgment or discrimination. This is the only way to ensure
that everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
Sexual identity is how one thinks of oneself in terms of to whom one is romantically
and/or sexually attracted. Sexual identity may also refer to sexual orientation identity, which is
when people identify or dis-identify with a sexual orientation or choose not to identify with a
sexual orientation. Sexual identity and sexual behavior are closely related to sexual orientation,
but they are distinguished, with identity referring to an individual's conception of themselves,
behavior referring to actual sexual acts performed by the individual, and sexual orientation
referring to romantic or sexual attractions toward persons of the opposite sex or gender, the same
sex or gender, to both sexes or more than one gender, or to no one. Historical models of sexual
identity have tended to view its formation as a process undergone only by sexual minorities, while
more contemporary models view the process as far more universal and attempt to present sexual
identity within the larger scope of other major identity theories and processes.
Unlabeled sexuality is when an individual chooses not to label their sexual identity. This
identification could stem from one's uncertainty about their sexuality or their unwillingness to
conform to a sexuality because they don't necessarily like labels, or they wish to feel free in their
attractions instead of feeling forced into same, other, both, or all attractions because of their sexual
identity. Identifying as unlabeled could also be because of one's "unwillingness to accept their
sexual minority status. Because being unlabeled is the purposeful decision of no sexual identity, it
is different from bisexuality or any other sexual identity. Those who are unlabeled are more likely
to view sexuality as less stable and more fluid and tend to focus more on the “person, not the
gender.
It is reported that some women who identify as unlabeled did so because they are unable or
uncertain about the types of relationships they will have in the future. As such, this divergence
11
from sexual labels could provide for a person to be able to more fully realize their "true" sexuality
because it frees them from the pressure of liking and being attracted to who their sexual
identification dictates they should like. Pham, Q.T. (2022) conducted an empirical qualitative
research on the sexual identity management strategies of working women who experience sexual
fluidity. The results show that female employees first consider or choose (non)identity that
matches their new sexual attractions. These (non)identity choices include identity change, fluid
identity, non-identity, and resisting identity. Next, strategies are utilized for managing that
(non)identity at work—pass, cover, implicitly out, explicitly out, inform/educate. These strategies
can be used independently or multiply (mixed/change), in which mixed strategy takes account of
communication object and situation, while change strategy relies on time.

Based on the data from the research survey, which had a sample size of 30
individuals, we can conclude that the participants were divided into three distinct age
groups: 14-15, 16-17, and 18 and above. The results indicate that 40% (12 individuals) of
the participants were in the 14-15 age group, while 30% (9 individuals) belonged to both
the 16-17 and 18 and above age groups. This suggests a relatively balanced distribution
of participants across the different age categories in the survey, allowing for a more

the gays of Junior High School and Senior High School students in Aurora National
High School can be categorized into three main areas: physical, family, and
psychological.
In terms of physical crises, the data shows that some of the participants have
experienced being hit (2.3), threatened (2.47) by others. However, the majority reported
never being smacked on the face (2.7) or slapped in public (2.77), nor attempted

The findings indicate that gay students in Aurora National High School face
multiple challenges, including physical, family, and psychological crises. The lack of
significant relationship between age, economic status, and identity crises suggests that
these challenges are not heavily influenced by these demographic factors. However, it is
important to note that other factors not examined in this study may contribute to the
