    Calantas, Ma. Emmalyn T.; Gasangarin, Jed Moirah G.; Ilinon, Wendel C. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-05)
    This study entitled “Char!”: The Language of Contemporary Adam, The Acceptability of Gay Lingo Among Senior Male Students in a Male Dominated University presents how the gay community is slowly being accepted in the society one step at a time. Chapter 1 presents the history of gays as they battle for societal discrimination and the current situation of the LGBT community in the country. Also, it discusses the aim of the study with the following objectives to seek for the critical areas on the behaviour of males towards gay language and to know how these males interpret the gay lingo and use it on a daily basis. The Review of Related Literature of the study involves the paradigm of sexuality in the Philippines which discusses the issue of gender roles and how people perceive homosexuals and homosexual relationships in the country. This chapter is also about the development of gay language which diverted from mockery and humiliation to it being openly used not only by homosexuals but also by straight men. Chapter 3 presents the subjects of the study who are the senior male students of JBLFMU, the research method used which is survey-based, the research design and data gathering procedures, research instruments, data analysis and the statistical tools used. The researchers measured the respondents’ exposure, knowledge, attitude, usage and practice of the language to determine their acceptability of gay lingo. Chapter 4 involves the results and discussions of the study. This chapter reveals that the respondents are highly exposed to the language. They also have a high level of knowledge, and positive attitude towards gay lingo. However, their usage and practice got the lowest percentage on the study. The final chapter includes the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the study which states that the gay lingo in a male-dominated university is accepted. The acceptance of gay culture and their language in a male-dominated community implies that men are consequently embracing the change that is happening in society nowadays. They are becoming more open about learning the culture of the once called minority group—the gay community.

    Attributions on the development of homosexuality and factors that lead to non-disclosure of sexual orientation among male covert homosexuals
    Bansuelo, Florence S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1996-03)
    The study aims to know the attributions on the development of homosexuality by male covert homosexuals, their reasons for keeping their sexual orientation hidden, and whether there are common personality characteristics among them. The researcher used in-depth interviews and the test Panukat sa Ugali at Pagkatao of Enriquez et al. to measure respondents’ personality characteristics. The respondents of this study consist of ten male covert homosexuals. The findings showed that the major attributions on the development of homosexuality are; early childhood sexual experience with older males, friends were mostly girls during childhood and adolescence, “it just happened”, a feeling within themselves that they are attracted to males. According to the respondents, fear of parental and societal rejection are the dominant reasons of their covert homosexuality. The personality test results showed that they are; faithfill, responsible, unreasonably obstinate, and have initiative. These were not classified as the traditional female or male stereotypes. Their attributions on the development of homosexuality are more of the interaction of biological and learned factors. Fear of rejection leads them to hide their sexuality.
