LGBTQ rights in the Philippines

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) rights in the Philippines have expanded in the 21st century, although LGBTQ+ individuals faced many difficulties in their homeland, such as prejudice, violence, abuse, assault, harassment and other forms of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. Many LGBTQ Filipinos are met with mixed attitudes and reactions by their families, friends and others in their communities, as well as professionals, educators, their national public officials, politicians, attorneys and others working for the government and the rest of the general population.
