For me, I think more are visable since they are more accepted. I also think some are bisexual and like the attention dressing up as a lady.

I have found that is _seems_ to be a higher percentage Lady-boys in SE-Asia. My thought is that _maybe_ it has to do with estrogen hormones given to chickens and chicken being a very popular food. Maybe I am completely wrong. Science has finally shown that homosexuality has to do with the hormone the fetus is showered with at the last stages of pregnancy. (This also has to do with the estrogen enhanced chickens mentioned above). But it can simply have to do with cultural acceptance. I dont know. A few comments, if I may.

There is on English man here who is openly gay. He is liked and accepted by me and many other Westerners. I enjoy seeing him and consider him my friend. Jeff,

I was wondering if the western expat community in the Phils would be accepting of a gay expat member socializing with them or if it would be too difficult for most of the expats there to accept? Granted I understand this is a general question about a diverse group of guys, but I am assuming that they are generally older & possibly with career military backgrounds, or missionary, that may be a bit more socially conservative about this, or perhaps not. Have you had, or heard of any experiences about this? I am about your age & am also considering a move in the future possibly to the PI to slow down from the rat race, but I don't know if it is a good idea yet. Thanks for the informative site.

All I can think of was the man was abused by someone in power, politically or rich businessman and was told if he told, he would be killed. I do not know why else the US would give asylum. Rob,

I don’t understand it because the Philippines seems the most accepting place for homos that I have ever seen.

We will not change the people, so lets just accept them. If we could do that everywhere maybe there would be less wars. Since we are talking about homosexuality. If the armies were gay, in a war they would just "bitch slap" each other and no blood shed. Don,

Different readers in a dialog sharing opinions, in agreement or disagreement. I feel bisexuals are homosexual but trying to live in a heterosexual life. Then they go gay to have what they really need or want. If homosexuals were true to their lifestyle, and it is a heredity item, then it should die out since homosexuals will not reproduce unless they use artificial insemination or switch hit for just that purpose. To label, condemn and throw stones, someone will get hurt. Lets just live and let live. Billy,

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 05:25:09 +0000 http://americanindavao.com/blog/?p=883#comment-3271 I sure picked up on a lot of strange feeling from all the above blogs to you on this subjuct. Let people be the way they are and enjoy their life. There is no right or wrong way to be but true to ones self. The views of others on my life style or others is not worth the spit of their mind. Judge each of us on the way we treat each other and not the way we look or act. This is why I have so much love for the people of the Philippines. Good subjuct Bruce it shows the true mind set of the people who write to you. I sure picked up on a lot of strange feeling from all the above blogs to you on this subjuct.

To me bisexuals sort of prove that this more of a choice than lifestyle. I have acquaintances that live this lifestyle and I feel its very selfish of them. To play both sides and then to play them against eachother for your own benefit. If you do consider it a biological thing then do you classify it as a hereditary disease? I mean to be gay has no benefits besides maybe temporary sexual satisfaction for that particular individual. Like you said, why would anyone want to be gay but then why would anyone want to be a crack baby. Both can happen and then both are passed down from their parents. Maybe its a harsh comparison and I don't mean to offend but its someting that has to be dialogued. In a religious aspect I don't hold homesexuality as a greater sin than say aldultery or any other of the seven vices. I do feel that gays are increasingly becoming more of the scapegoat by the Church. When in fact the Church ahem Catholic and yes even Muslim organizations had covered up "priests or imams" who have abused their power with homesexual acts. Bottom line we all come into this world marked as a sinner and you can always go back to 'let he without sin cast the first stone'. Just to air some opinions and thoughts…
