    Sexual identity, coming out, and romantic relationships among self-confessed college tomboys and lesbians
    Cabungcal, Kristine Marie C.; Cebrian, Veah Marie P. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2009-03)
    This study described the sexual identity, coming out, and romantic relationships among self-confessed college tomboys and lesbians. Eight respondents (6 tomboys; 2 lesbians) participated in this study. The tomboys were found to assume more of a masculine role, while lesbians the feminine role. Questionnaires were utilized to describe gender identity and coming out. Also, two Likert types of scales by John Mohr that is Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Identity Scale and Outness Inventory were used. One-one-one interview with the respondents was also conducted to further substantiate what it is being a tomboy or n.lesbian. Results showed that a greater number of respondents (50%) had experienced sexual identity confusion during their elementary years. The same percentage of respondents also reported that it was at the age of 15 that they first realized that they were homosexuals. All of the respondents are clear of their sexual identity and have fully accepted themselves. The respondents were open to their friends. While open to their friends, they remain to be closeted at home due to the stigma that is attached by their family members to tomboys and lesbians.

    The different factors influencing the preferred sexual orientation of self-confessed gay men and lesbians in Iloilo
    Alcudia, Ina Adria A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)
    This descriptive study aimed to identify the possible factors that may have been influencing homosexual orientation across age-groups. Specifically, it focused on three dimensions namely, intrapersonal, interpersonal, and sociocultural factors. There were a total of 20 respondents, 10 gay men and 10 lesbians who participated in the interview. The respondents completed standardized questionnaires on Parental Bonding and Locus of Control to determine quantitatively Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Factors. The findings suggest that respondents have early awareness of homosexual orientation and majority of them have internal locus of control. Most of the respondents confirmed the existence of homosexuality in their families and that the nature of parenting styles as perceived by the respondents differs between gays and lesbians. Lastly, educational institution, religion and media are not influencing factors for majority of the respondents.
