1. Homosexual people are discriminated and seen as an embarrassment. In the music video, one may be able to see that homosexuals aren't treated equally compared to those who are heterosexuals; moreover, the homosexuals are not treated with respect, rather, they are mocked and bullied by those around them.

- Treat homosexuals equally for they are humans
- If you don't have anything nice to say to them, don't say anything at all
- Be open minded with their lifestyle
4. I believe that it is a good thing that the United States of America legalized same sex marriage because these people deserve to spend the rest of their lives with the one that they love. It is also a good thing that it is legal because they would be able to show to others that love can really withstand the odds (the odds being those who judge them, etc.)
5. It is very inhumane and contradicting. Through the acts that they do, they themselves prove that heterosexuals are no better than homosexuals. These acts are also inhumane because these homosexuals are people with dignity and feelings too, and they must also be treated with respect.
6. Homosexuality is not something that one would be able to control. Because of this fact, I think that the statement about homosexuality being a sickness is irrational because it's not like these people chose to be who they are — they were born that way and I personally don't see any thing wrong with that. In addition, love is love, and who are we to prevent people from being with the one they love
7. Those in the Western countries such as America are very open minded about this topic; however, there are also some countries like Russia who persecute homosexuals. The same goes for the Asian countries as well. In short, there are numerous places who are accepting and there are also numerous places who do not approve of homosexuals. -

1.) A homosexual in view of MTV's "Sirena" is presented as a male who simply appears to prefer girly objects and activities, and sometimes prefers to put on makeup or accessories that may be targeted to females more than what the usual male population prefers. He does not appear to be attracted to females but rather he himself likes to feel like a girl mainly because the status quo refers to call girls "beautiful" in their appearance.

3.) Homosexuals should be treated with the same amount of respect as any other human being. 3 examples of giving respect is to simply accept their identity, no matter how the status quo may regard such orientation as "taboo". Another is to simply support them in any endeavor they face, especially if it involves any matter with relationships. Finally, one can give them the same respect we give to others by standing up against oppressive groups or societies that continue to discriminate these homosexuals. I feel that it would be considered ridiculous to condemn those who only wish the happiest in life, even if it doesn't always go past the status quo's ways.
4.) I support the movement made by the US Supreme Court in legalizing same-sex marriage as this serves as a safe haven for homosexuals to get the same set of privileges as heterosexuals do in life. I believe that legalizing such motion would be considered as a huge benefit because we would then be safeguarding the innate right of humans to love-with some countries in the world condemning such acts, the US has shown that doing so would only take away one of the most valuable principles in life (besides religion to some), and so, they have taken a step forward in putting a stop to discrimination and give these homosexuals a rightful place in society.
5.) As I have mentioned before as my remark over the issue, I find it ridiculous that such religions condemn the very practice of love and relationship simply because they do not follow the requirement of the couple being of opposite genders. I find that the right to love is something that cannot be taken away by any power nor religion so long as it does no direct physical harm to anyone.
6.) Homosexuality is seen as a topic of great discussion and debate among societies today, with a proportion of the society leaning on the idea that it is depicted as disgusting and barbaric because it doesn't follow the general idea of what to see in a relationship. It saddens me to hear that the Civil Code mentions how it is considered as a "sickness" when I believe they only call it so because it is found to be strange living amongst their societies.
7.)
SIMILARITIES: Both countries find homosexuality to be quite a strange concept of love and living
DIFFERENCE: The difference here lies between how they see it as a whole in regards to how it may live in the lives of its countrymen; Western countries believe that homosexuality may be a threat to the line of genetics and disease whereas Asian countries find it a threat to their religion and thus they condemn those who support or are a part of the group of homosexuals. -

4. In my personal opinion, the legalization of same sex marriage in the US is good step forward for the world in order to attain equality towards everyone. Everyone should have the equal opportunity and rights to be able to be with the people they love and gender, for that matter, should not be a barrier.
5. It is completely ludicrous that such religions would condemn 2 people in love due to the practice that love should always be of the opposite gender. The treatment that these homosexuals recieved is something that no one should ever go through since respect is a must for everyone.
6. Homosexuality is definitely not a disease or a sickness since a disease is something that may be prevented or cured. A person’s sexuality comes naturally within them and if that is removed, their entire entity is erased.

3. 1. They should be treated the same.
2. They should be treated with respect just like everyone else.
3. We should be open to the idea of a homosexual
4. On my opinion I think this wasn't a very good decision because same sex marriage isn't what God really wanted since he only wanted 2 genders which are male and female. Same sex marriage could also lead to sexually inappropriate things.
5. This is bad since they discriminate homosexuals and it isn't really their fault that they are like that. They are human too and they are of our kind these are very crucial things we must remember. Homosexuals are no different than we all are which is why we shouldn't treat them so badly.
6. Homosexuality is neither. In my opinion I think it is all about perspective and choosing what you think is right and I think they thought they were placed in a body of the opposite sex.
7. Similarity: Both starting to be open about the concept of homosexuality although both used to find it strange
Difference: We are lagging behind the western countries since they have same sex marriage while we don't. -

3. Homosexuals should be respected. They should be allowed to love and marry who they love. They should be treated equal like having jobs like men and women have. Also, they should never be separated from the society because of their sexuality.
4. I think that love really wins. We should be able to express our love to those who we really want to live for the rest of ourselves and the way to express this love is through marriage. So for me, homosexuals should be given equal rights as those of men and women.
5. I feel bad because they think that being homosexuals is unaccpetable and a shame to one's family. Every person are created by God in his image so for Him everyone is equal and no one is better than the other. So for me, discrimination of homosexuals should be the one that is prohibited because every life is important to our Father and this should be taken care of.
6. For me, it can be said as a disease because homosexuality is against to what marriage is all about and that is reproduction. Homosexuality can be treated as a disease if the people want to marry each other but they should still be respected and should be given understanding.
7. Western Countries think that homosexuality is legal and as "normal" to their countries and Asian Countries think that homosexuality is a crime and will bring shame to one's family. However both are trying to understand homosexual to give a solution to this situation -

- Show them love & respect them like how you should respect your neighbors. Do not give them disgusted faces, they’re human after all.
- Accept them for who they are, do not judge them just because they do not align with the norm.
- Do not show separation between the genders, treat them as how they want to be treated.
4. Its nice to hear that the court is actually listening to the protests of the people. This does not just leave a mark in history, it also marks the fact that nations are progressing and not just sticking to what was done in the past. Nations should be moving forward and people have the right to live somewhere they feel safe and belong.
5. People can’t help it, we don’t get to choose who to fall for after all. One shouldn’t be led astray just because s/he doesn’t fit the norm. Its 2016 and we should be working towards the change in the society, change where we can all be comfortable in our skin without having to worry about how people will react to who you are. We shouldn’t define others based on who they choose to love.
6. One’s close-mindedness and insensitivity is just equally alarming, most especially if nothing bad was ever done to them. The problem begins when one doesn’t show acceptance in a society where everyone is unique and different. However, this Civil Code has been edited and is now accepting people for who they are. There is no need for discrimination!!
7. Not to speak for all countries but in Asia, some countries have no problem with homosexuals. In fact, homosexuals play a big role in show business, specifically in talk shows. Sadly, Asian countries are known for shaming and not accepting homosexuals. In addition, they are beaten and humiliated. On the other hand, Western countries show more support for homosexuals for their culture has affected their way of thinking. -

- Homosexuality is presented through a way that will help heterosexual (straight) people understand how it’s like to be treated as a homosexual. It was shown to us how homosexuals are treated with no equality and are often looked down upon by society. It’s heart breaking to see how these people (such as the singer in the video) are treated just for being who they really are.

- Homosexuals should be treated equally because as humans, they have rights too. Being homosexual doesn’t mean that people can look down upon you and treat you with disrespect.
- They should not be punished for being homosexual because they’re just simply being who they really are.
- They should not be ashamed of, particularly by their families because being homosexual doesn’t mean that there is something wrong with you or the way your parents raised you.

- It’s very irrational because homosexuals shouldn’t be punished for being something that society doesn’t approve of. It’s very unfair and it goes against their rights as humans because after all, they’re just being themselves; punishment is not the answer to that.
6. Homosexuality is a disease or a sickness according to the amended Civil Code of the Philippines. Give your reaction.
- I disagree. Homosexuality is developed through a person’s instinct and likeness or “type”. If males fall in love with other males, and females fall in love with other females, then that just shows how everyone is different and their views on other people are different as well. It’s not a sickness/disease because it really just depends on the person and who she/he is attracted to.

3. How then should homosexuals be properly treated. Give at least three concrete examples.
I think that homosexuals shouldn't be treated any differently than us. All of us are human and we are all created after the image of God, and in his eyes, we are all equal. None of us are in the right to say that anyone is lesser than us just because they feel attraction to the same sex. Anyone should be allowed to marry whom they want. Anyone has the right to go out without being stared at because "it is disturbing to see couples of the same sex showing affection." Lastly, sexuality does not define a person and we should not set a stereotype against homosexuals.
4. Love wins case in the US Supreme Court. Give your opinion.
I am in favor of this because, as I said, anyone should be able to marry whom they want. We cannot deny anyone of marriage because, love is love and they should be free to express it to someone else even of the same sex.

No human deserves to be served death because we think it is right. Abuse is not something we have the right to give because it could potentially lead to death, and only God should have control over that. I do not fully understand the Muslim beliefs, but as a Christian, I do not support their treatment because, all of us are humans and no human is greater than another in the eyes of God.
6. Homosexuality is a disease or a sickness according to the amended Civil Code of the Philippines. Give your reaction.
I do not think it is a sickness or disease, and I don't think it should be reffered to that way. Homosexuality isn't a disease you get from spending too much time with another person. Homosexuality is attraction to the same sex. It is simply attraction. Just because it isn't normal, it doesn't mean that it is a disease.
7. Compare and contrast: Western countries and Asian countries as to treatment of homosexuality.
Western countries, even if they don't fully accept it, it isn't taboo. Though many don't like it, many also fight for it. Asian countries are more "conservative" and asians aren't comfortable tackling the issue. ( with exception to countries like Thailand) -

Homosexuals should be treated as they really are, as humans. One situation would be to not be discriminatory towards how they feel to express themselves, like in the song, if they want to be feminine we must learn to accept them still. Another may be supporting them whenever they feel bad, just like how we treat others, we must not think less of them than how they truly deserve, as fellow humans and children of God. Lastly we must accept them, wholeheartedly, most homosexual individuals feel as if they cannot be who they are because of the "gender norms", we can help them by showing that we are with them as well.

Western culture seems more generally accepting towards homosexuality than countries in Asia. While in US homosexuality can almost be considered the norm, there are still people being put to death in Asia for the same thing. -

In the video homosexuality is depicted as something people shame. The homosexual was abused and beaten by others, even by his own father because of his sexual preference. But despite all of this the main character chose to stand firm and step up for what he believed what was right.
2. What key statements or phrases in the lyrics would attest how discriminating our culture is towards homosexuals. Write at least 5.
-Naglalakihang mga braso, saki'y dumidikdik
Drum na may tubig ang sinisisid
-Pero bakit parang lahat ay nalilito pa rin
Ano bang mga problema nyo?
-Akong paluin ng tubo kahit kinakalawang
Tama na naman itay, di na po ako pasaway
-Kapag ako'y naiiyak ay sumusugod sa ambon
Iniisip ko na lamang na baka ako'y ampon
-Kasi araw-araw na lamang ay walang humpay na banat
Ang inaabot ng ganda kong pang-ilalim ng dagat
3. How then should homosexuals be properly treated. Give at least three concrete examples.
-Homosexuals should be given equal rights and benefits
-Homosexuals should not be physically or emotionally abused
-Homosexuals should be allowed and accepted in soceity
4. Love wins case in the US Supreme Court. Give your opinion.
I personally think that the Love Wins case is one step forward to progress. I believe that everyone should be given equal rights despite the color of their skin, race or sexual preference. Allowing same sex marriage opened the door to a better and peaceful world.
5. Give your opinion on the article "Islamic Treatment of Homosexuals".
I understand that it is against their beliefs to allow and have homosexuals but I do not agree to them killing and abusing them. All life is sacred and should be respected.
6. Homosexuality is a disease or a sickness according to the amended Civil Code of the Philippines. Give your reaction.
I do not think that homosexuality is a sickness. You cannot cure homosexuality with medicine because it is not a disease in need of curing. Instead of trying to cure these people we should give them more opportunities for better lives.
7. Compare and contrast: Western countries and Asian countries as to treatment of homosexuality.
Western countries are more open to the idea of homosexuality unlike asian countries who strictly follow tradition and shames it. -

1. Based on the music video, homosexuality was presented as a type of gender that is an embarrassment. They showed us that they weren’t treated equally as of how the usual heterosexuals were treated, which is with dignity and respect. Also, this music video shows how much a person that is homosexual had to go through. All of the challenges that he had to go through just because of his gender.
2. //Kahit anong sabihin nila ako ay ubod ng ganda//Upang matakpan ang mga pasa na galing sa aking ama//Kahit anong gawin nila bandera ko'y di tutumba//Tama na naman itay, di na po ako pasaway//Naglalakihang mga braso, saki'y dumidikdik//
3. Homosexuals should be treated: with respect like how you respect others, equally because they are just the same as you and me, and like human beings because we are all the same.
4. I believe that love should always prevail. The US supreme court is doing the right thing by implementing same sex marriage. Everyone of us should have equal rights and freedom. I believe that everyone has a right to be with the person they love regardless of their gender. Every person should experience how it is like to live a life with the person they truly care for before they’re called in heaven. They should have the chance to undergo a married life and have a chance to test how strong their relationship can stand.
5. These muslims should stop convicting others just because of their gender. None of us have the right take a person’s life because we are not gods. Only God has the right to take our lives because he was the one who gave it to us. Killing another person is an act of treason. One of the commandments states that we are not allowed to take another person’s life. Doing this kind of act is immoral and we shouldn’t commit this kind of mortal sin. Killing another person is an act worse than being homosexual.
6. Homosexuality is not a sickness or disease. It is a gender for which a person is born with. None of us can stop another person if deep inside they are really a homosexual. Homosexuality is not a disease that would spread because even if you put a heterosexual in a room filled with homosexual people, the heterosexual person would still have the same gender. Homosexuality is the identity of some people. If you remove this from them, who they be.
7. Both Western Countries and Asian Countries are getting used to the idea of Homosexuality. On the other hand, Western countries are more open and more accepting when it comes to the people that are homosexual. While in some Asian countries, they think that homosexuality should be illegal and those people should be ashamed of what they are. -

1. A homosexual is presented as a guy with effeminate tendencies and likes to dress up as a girl. This type of behavior is normally called "bading" in the Philippines.

3. With Respect.
Have an open-mind.
Treat them as if they were human, like homosexuality doesn't mean we should separate from them.
4. I think it's good that the US government has started to recognize the homosexuals, which will definitely help us learn to respect the homosexuals.
5. I feel sad that there are people who treat homosexuals as less than humans
6. I feel disgusted that the government had to put that part in as part of the civil code, as it puts them on almost the same level as murderers, rapists and pedophiles, even though that isn't necessarily the case.
7. Western Countries are more open and accepting of homosexuality while Asian countries view homosexuality as a curse or something that is not beneficial, a negative concept. -

c.) be open-minded about it

-it's been about 8 months since the declaration and because of that, so much homosexual couples got married in peace. It is very good thing because they were discriminated by society for being who they are and now they have the freedom to be married with their loved one.

1. In the music video, it shows how homosexuals are shamed and ridiculed for being different to what we portray as normal. Our society is very judgemental to others based on their sexuality and we gave each sexuality many stereotypes, but the music video tries to shut down some of those stereotypes.
2. "mga pasa sa mukha Na galing sa aking ama Na tila di natutuwa sa tuwing ako'y nasisilayan"
"Ano bang mga problema nyo? Dahil ba ang mga kilos ko'y iba.”
"kasi ganun na lamang Akong paluin ng tubo kahit kinakalawang"
"Kasi araw-araw na lamang ay walang humpay na banat ang inaabot"
"Magaling sa chinese garter at piko Mga labi ko'y pulang pula,"
3. *treat them as how we would treat a normal person, for they are also normal people.
*do not discriminate or stereotype them. *accept and love them for God wants us to love everyone.
4. In my opinion, I am happy at this announcement. The right to love should be given to anyone, and I believe that legalizing gay marriage in the U.S. is a big step forward to spreading the love throughout our society.
5. I believe that it is not right to do something so wrong to a person who is different. I don’t believe that killing or severely injuring homosexuals is a peaceful act, especially because Muslims are supposed to be spreading peace.
6. Homosexuality is not a disease or a sickness. Just because you are different from what we see and you see things differently means that you are sick. A sickness means there is something wrong with you, but there is nothing wrong with being a homosexual.
7. Western countries are more accepting of homosexuality, as shown by the legalization of gay marriage, compared to the Asian countries. Asian countries follow tradition and religion, which is why we don’t really open up to homosexuality. -

Homosexuals should be treated the same way we treat everyone else because they are still human and they shouldn't judge for how they express themselves, they should also be treated like normal human people.

I am happy that the US Supreme Court allowed same sex marriage because I think its fair because everyone has the right to get married.

I found this article very disappointing since it shows how people around the world treat Homosexuals and they should be stopped because homosexuals are human too and should be treated equally and with respect.

It is shown in the video that the homosexuals or gays are people that act very feminine and that these people were being discriminated and disrespected by everyone, including their friends and family.

I think that its good that love wins because love has no boundaries. If youre a male who loves a female, or a male who loves a male, or a female who loves a female, we all have the right to love.
5. Give your opinion on the article "Islamic Treatment of Homosexuals".
The article shows examples of harsh punishments to homosexuals caused by a narrow and one-sided view of homosexuality. It's sad to think about this form of discrimination but it is also a wake up call to show that we have to change, because we are all equal.
6. Homosexuality is a disease or a sickness according to the amended Civil Code of the Philippines. Give your reaction.
I think that the Civil Cose of the Philippines is wrong in saying that homosexuality is a disease. We should learn to accept our brothers and sisters that are a little bit different from us.

I think that it is right for homosexuals to have equal rights because it isn't right to discriminate someone just for being who he/she is. Also, I find it upsetting that there are people who actually treat homosexuals with such disrespect because in the end they are like us in a sense that we live the way we want to
5. Give your opinion on the article "Islamic Treatment of Homosexuals".
The article showed a lot of punishments on the homosexuals due to the past beliefs on them. I think that we should use this as some sort of reminder, in a way, to treat homosexuals with respect and equal rights.
6. Homosexuality is a disease or a sickness according to the amended Civil Code of the Philippines. Give your reaction.
I'd disagree because I believe homosexuality is a sex rather than a disease/sickness. And I think that we should think of it that way so as to not discriminate them

Western countries are more open to homosexuality
While the Asian countries are less open to homosexuality and some of them still hold dated beliefs about homosexuality. -

1. As shown on the MTV, homosexuals aren't treated the way they are supposed to be treated an they are discriminated by society just because they are the third sex.

- Mga labi ko'y pulang-pula
3. We must all be treated equally. But, before we treat eachother equally, we must see each other equally. Respecting one another is a big factor in reating each other equally. We must always remember that they are human too and that God also created them.
4. I believe that it is a great thing that the United States of America considered their pleas and became open minded to the third sex an legalized same-sex marraige.
5. The article shocked me. I don't believe that this is the right way to treat someone indifferent, in fact, you don't even have to treat them differently or punish them for who they are because we are all equal. We should respect everyone for they are our brothers and sisters.
6. It is wrong to call them a disease or sickness. We must continue promoting equality to the Philippines and the rest of the world. Sexuality is not an excuse to treat others differently.
7. The western countries are starting to warm up to and accept the LGBT community. However, several countries from Asia aren't very open minded and not open to the idea of homosexuals.

1. in view of the MTV "Sirena" how is a homosexual presented by the interpreter who sung the song in the first person.
- The person who sung the lyrics presented a homosexual as the typical “bading” in the Philippines. The “Bading” they call in the Philippines are men who act and dress like women. The song does not go deep into the meaning of homosexual but instead, it sticks to the common definition of a homosexual, specifically a gay person.

3. How then should homosexuals be properly treated. Give at least three concrete examples.
- They should be treated like a real man/woman is treated.
- With respect because they are human too.
- Like nothing is different.
4. Love wins case in the US Supreme Court. Give your opinion.
- Being a catholic I don’t like it because it will increase the chances of people becoming a homosexual although I wouldn’t say it was a horrible move being God has taught us to respect one another and gave us the freedom to do as we please.
5. Give your opinion on the article "Islamic Treatment of Homosexuals".
- We should respect everything each person does for he/she has his/her own reason for the act. Wether right or wrong we should respect it, if wrong then we simply keep the person aware, and if correct we support the person. Although the way the Islams did it was wrong therefore we should share with them what we know so that they can get a chance to change for the better and change their ways.
6. Homosexuality is a disease or a sickness according to the amended Civil Code of the Philippines. Give your
reaction.
- I think believe that it was wrong to call them a disease nor a sickness for there is no difference between a real man and a gay person or a real woman or a lesbian.
7. Compare and contrast: Western countries and Asian countries as to treatment of homosexuality.
- The western countries have accepted the LGBT community more openely than that of the asian countries. However the the asain countries are in progress and are not too far away from the way the western countries treat the community which I believe should make the said community happy.
