More schools will follow the lead of Ubao National High School in Aguinaldo town, said Sasha Joseph Daganos, a transwoman who heads the DepEd Cordillera human resources division.
Now in her 40s, she said, “I was born during the time when elders condemned homosexuality in villages. It was taboo.”“But the older and extremely conservative generation has since passed away, and social media, coupled with the much younger generation of parents, has made LGBTQ teens more visible, if not yet totally accepted,” Daganos told the Inquirer in an interview.
“Designing the survey or inventory will need to be delicate. Not all youths have determined their sexuality at their age and some may still be closeted,” she said. Cariño said the DepEd preferred teachers trained to expound on sexual identity in the same manner trained specialists teach sex education.
The study said this societal pressure explains why certain “sexual unions could be dissolved when couples were unable to bear children” and why “couples without children are looked down upon, especially for women.”
