With 103 suspected anti-LGBT hate crime deaths since 1996 including 28 cases during the first half of 2011 alone, the Philippine LGBT Hate Crime Watch has embarked on a public campaign to call for more awareness and legislative change. Fridae speaks to researcher Marlon Lacsamana to find out more.
Nine members of a street gang grabbed two 17-year-old boys and lured a 30-year-old man, who is romantically linked to the two teens, to an abandoned house where they brutally tortured and sexually abused their victims.
‘’The more visibility there is, the more likely we're going to see backlash…” said the executive director of a US watchdog group that recorded 29 bias-related killings last year, along with an increase in the severity of violence perpetuated towards LGBTs.
A shocking report by ActionAid has revealed that not only lesbian women in South Africa are being raped by men who believe it will "cure" them of their sexual orientation, the crimes have gone unrecognised by the state and unpunished by the legal system.
I’m easygoing but intentional about the people I let into my life. I enjoy a mix of simple pleasures and meaningful moments—music, good food, laughter, and building something real with someone who’s on the same wavelength. I respect honesty, emotional maturity, and people who know what they want (or are at least willing to figure it out).

Let's bask in the sun. I'm a 65 year old gay man who's looking for friends. I'm single, dating, and ready to meet guys who are interested in the arts, exercise, and, to some degree, activism. I love living in Santa Cruz, California!
