'Philippine society accommodates LGBTs by obscuring them in niche roles. Pride March is there for our fellows who feel isolated and alone.'
This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors. For context, always refer to the full article.
Attempts by the LGBTs to venture outside of these niche roles – such as when they wish to become religious leaders, members of the military, or engage in the care of the young as teachers or as parents – are met with resistance from society. Given these circumstances, many LGBTs have settled for these niche roles and made them their “safe spaces” – a niche space where LGBTs are tolerated. In many other spaces of Philippine society, however, they are unlikely to find similar accommodations.
Normally, the expectation is that counseling serves as a deterrent to suicide. However, reality is not as tidy. Empirical studies show that while this is the normal causal relationship, the results change when the suicide ideators are LGBT and the counseling provided is intentionally or unintentionally clothed in religious dogma .
