* Tuloy Po Kayo !

* Why have a Philippines page?
- "I thought you are just a Weymouth Dorset UK web site?"

* A place for international exchange!

* LGBT friendship/support for those less fortunate than us in UK

* If you are Filipino in UK or in Philipines with an interest in UK, we hope you find this page interesting/helpful.

Why have a Philippines page? "I thought you are a Weymouth Dorset UK group?"
Yes, its true we are just a small local gay social group in Weymouth Dorset UK. However one of our guys is obsessed (some say) by Philippines (and someone there!).  - Oh and as he tends to organise most LGBT things in town here, this page is a bit of a self indulgence for him! Think of this page as an OUT reach to those less fortunate than most of us in UK.

LGBT friendship/support for those less fortunate than us in UK
While it is not illegal to be LGBT+ in The Philippines the Catholic Church still has a very strong influence over Philippines society and Government. Full equality has yet to reach Philippines and it can be very hard growing up LGBT+ particularly in the provinces. Manila (the capital) embraces diversity better and has gay bars, pride events, and the MCC Church is active there. Their are also a number of LGBT NGO's including Hiv/Aids support (see below).

Sadly Philippines is riddled with poverty, corruption and other issues. Tourists are strongly advised not to engage with street children or others requesting money be it online (via Western Union!) or in person if visiting. 

However, it is a beautiful country and many of the people are so pleasant and welcoming. Their are some stunning guys awaiting friendship or UK boy friends/partners out there! They may well deserve your support and friendship, but pleased be advised that long distance relationships can break your heart (and perhaps bank account!).

Hearing about the problems other cultures face, should make us all more appreciative about how fortunate we are with our LGBT life here in UK.
