#Davao - Life is Here...and Homophobia.

I'd like to be disgusted and shocked at the hundreds of homophobic, vile and idiotic comments and jokes...

But hey, what do you expect from a conservative, right wing city that worships a family of authoritarianism + toxic masculinity?
There's just so many of these.

Hit "All Comments" and the ratio of hateful comments to supportive ones is probably 70%-30%.
I do recognize my privilege that I'm a cis whey gay so asshats don't really hassle me.

Mostly when they find out, it's the disapproving looks, the micro-aggressions: "Ay, sayang ka", small shit like that.
