The LGBT community although tolerated has never been really accepted here in the country. Now, before you go full on goofball on us, let us explain why and how this movement as a whole continue to strive to become accepted in the society.
Up to now, this sector continues the need to fight for its equal rights. The SOGIE bill is still in the plenary, after several years. With that being said, it is also sad how it still has opposition, despite its essence- that it only wants to provide a fair and equal opportunity to all regardless of gender, race, or color. It only wanted to break down the walls of patriarchy that continues to oppress other people. It only wanted to achieve a society where everyone is given an equal chance to strive and be better.
Up to this day, same-gender relationships are still frowned upon by a significant number in the population. Although, we must admit that it has been better than the previous years, there is still no absolute acceptance until two men holding hands or two women flirting would not garner any attention and would just be dismissed as normal.
This is the reason why this video of a gay man who knocked out a straight man in a boxing match became viral. In the video, the game happened in a fiesta in Lalaan Uno, Silang Cavite. It’s normal for fiestas and other festivities to include fun games and matches like boxing to engage the residents in a certain barangay to come out and participate in all the fun.
So going back, the match was anticipated by everyone. And everyone of course, expected that the straight man would win over a frail looking gay man. But to their surprise, the gay man was able to knock out the hetero man two times… and he literally tumbled to the ground.
It’s apparent that what happened might have hurt his pride, that’s why he continued on fighting. But the strength, determination, and confidence of the gay man cannot be contained. Ultimately, he won the match and got the prize.
This just goes to show that people in the LGBT community are so much more than just labels and stereotypes that people continue to inflict on them. This only proves that they are not worthless. Because just like any other straight person, they also have talents and abilities. They can also shine, if only given an equal chance and opportunity.
