Abstract：
Despite the Philippines\' progress in gender equality, contemporary evidence suggests that Filipinos continue to possess negative attitudes toward lesbian and gay individuals. Likewise, discrimination and violence toward bisexual, transgender, and queer Filipinos have been documented. Despite cases of sexual orientation and gender identity and expression (SOGIE) based discrimination, national-level anti-discrimination legislation remains unpassed in the Senate. This study explores the national discussions on the SOGIE Equality Bill triggered by a bathroom discrimination experienced by a Filipino transgender woman in 2019. Taking cues from Richardson\'s sexual citizenship framework, we investigate the diverse rights discourses among sectoral groups, such as local lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other individuals of marginalized sexualities and genders (LGBTQ+) organizations and their allies, high-ranking Filipino politicians, and religious organizations. Analysis of local discourses showed that those supporting the SOGIE Equality Bill leverage identity-based rights discourses, while those opposed primarily navigate these debates using conduct-based rights discourses. Future policy and advocacy work must leverage the insights from these public proceedings to foster LGBTQ + solidarity in their campaigns for LGBTQ + rights in the country. Particularly, future work must (1) locate the middle ground between the LGBTQ + community and opposed legislators; (2) highlight essential values and common issues shared by all Filipinos; (3) surface how privilege can preclude and advance solidarity within the LGBTQ + community; (4) campaign for the passage of local anti-discrimination ordinances; (5) improve the SOGIE-related competencies of policy implementers; and (6) engage in research that explores public discourses and meanings assigned to sexual rights among Filipinos.
摘要：
尽管菲律宾在性别平等方面取得了进展，当代证据表明，菲律宾人继续对男女同性恋者持消极态度。同样，对双性恋的歧视和暴力，变性人,同性恋菲律宾人已经被记录在案。尽管存在基于性取向和性别认同和表达（SOGIE）的歧视，国家层面的反歧视立法仍未在参议院获得通过。这项研究探讨了由菲律宾变性人妇女在2019年经历的浴室歧视引发的关于SOGIE平等法案的全国性讨论。从理查森的性公民框架中得到暗示，我们调查部门群体之间不同的权利话语，比如当地的女同性恋，同性恋,双性恋,变性人,酷儿,以及其他被边缘化的性和性别(LGBTQ+)组织及其盟友的个人，菲律宾高级政客，和宗教组织。对本地话语的分析表明，那些支持SOGIE平等法案的人利用了基于身份的权利话语，而那些反对的人主要使用基于行为的权利话语来主导这些辩论。未来的政策和宣传工作必须利用这些公开程序的见解，以促进LGBTQ+在该国争取LGBTQ+权利的运动中的团结。特别是,未来的工作必须（1）在LGBTQ社区和反对的立法者之间找到中间立场；（2）强调所有菲律宾人共享的基本价值观和共同问题；（3）揭示特权如何排除和促进LGBTQ社区内部的团结；（4）通过地方反歧视法令的运动；（5）提高政策实施者与SOGIE相关的能力；（6）参与分配给公众的菲律宾的权利和性别权利的研究。
