“I Need To Be Myself, I Can’t Be Anyone Else.”
“I was born to be true and not to be perfect,” Epey said in his speech. Epey is the winner of the trending segment in It’s Showtime – That’s My Tomboy. In this segment, they (lesbians) let me, the madlang people and the world to see their worth as a lesbian and as a human. They also made me believe that all of us can be accepted in the society beyond our imperfections, because no matter how imperfect we are, there are still things that we must be proud of and things that we must treasure – our abilities, skills, talents, and personalities and us, being true to ourselves, and our family, friends, and loved ones.
I am Joanne Mae Labio. I believe that there is no one who knows you so much but yourself and that there is such a great happiness when you know that you are living your life being true to yourself. I am fourteen years old, eight-grader student and I’m proud to say that even though I’m still young, I already discovered some of my talents and skills and trying to improve them nowadays. I am a dancer, but I’m dancing not to impress but to express my feelings, myself, and my life, just like what other dancers do. I am good in the so called “cursed” subject in the whole world – Math, and I’m proud of it. I believe that it just really takes perseverance and hard studying to understand its challenging and crazy concepts and problems. I am good in puzzles, and logical questions, too. Those are some of my biggest skills that I’m really proud of and I consider them as one of the most important thing in my life together with my personality and confidence. Without them, I don’t know if I am me, if I’m the Joanne today. I also consider my inspirations and encouragers as important in my life. They are my family, friends, Ina and Xyrille together with Daniel Padilla. Without them, I don’t if I will have courage to study hard or show my talents and skills. I consider my abilities, skills, talents, and personalities as my

    This is a divisive strategy that aims to produce a consumable queer, fit for a mainstream audience. Subsequently, this strategy risks straight culture subsuming both lesbians and the queer community (Moody 2011). To subsume lesbian and queer culture would erode the common political identity that allows for community organization against heterosexism. Like bell hooks (1992) contends, “Communities of resistance are replaced by communities of consumption” (33). Effectively, the apolitical representation of lesbianism obliterates the movement’s historical allegiance to working class culture, butches, interracial socializing and feminism (Moody 2011). Both productions exemplify this shift from queer sexuality to homonomative-domestic lesbian, although The Kids Are All Right epitomizes this because it fails to acknowledge the oppressive culture and diverse identities. Homonormative representations normalized the broader lesbian community and foster…

    Discovery is a crucial element for the future of society. The actions that lead to new advances, however, are questionable. Science and new discovery almost always go hand in hand, and mistakes are bound to happen when they are paired together. New innovations, findings, and advancements happen every day, and whether or not mistakes are key to that fact is in question. The unearthing of the city of Troy, for example, was discovered by archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann and was said to be one of the greatest historical discoveries in history. The truth was, though, that the city was disturbed more than it should have been due to Schliemann’s mistake. New advances are a crucial part of our world today, but mistakes along the way hardly ever result in good things.…

    The authors use of words congenital, predilection and pathology suggested that for a woman to be attracted to other women was a sign of deviant and insanity. The tone in the quote was biased does not fit the hegemonic idea of a lesbian as she has/had many male partners. In the context of the movie, her character is used as a platform to represent lesbian women. As a result, it presented a biased lesbian identity. She portrayed as a mentor who helps Celie find her sexuality rather her lover.…

    Peter Singer's article, Famine, Affluence, and Morality, presents a strong view on the moral values which people all around the world today are giving to the global famine taking place these days. Singer tries to influence who ever reads this article to take action and provide relief for the increased suffering going on due to famine. In his article, he incorporates arguments to illustrate the moral importance that should be given to the suffering of famine. The majority of the population today view offerings as a good action to do but do not believe it is wrong not to do it. Singer stresses how it is wrong to know such suffering is going on and not do anything about it, regardless of the distance between you and the victim and if anyone else is assisting towards the cause. Although Singer makes some strong points, he also falls weak in a few of his arguments.…

    Being an adult, I look back into my teenager years and fresh years of being a young adult unto now. I have always viewed life deeper than most that are my age. I wouldn’t when I was younger I was confused, but I always did what my friends thought was cool to do. But when it came to my thinking and my emotions, I loved deeper and had a great deal of compassion for people. I knew and was taught since God loved people in spite of the bad things that we do. I did too. I would look pass what they might say, act or think about life. I had a sense that it is more to life then we try to take grips on. Maybe it was because I grew up in church and I was always exposed the Gospel and wanted to know so much more about this supernatural power of healing and deliverance from evil. You could even say I some teenagers (females especially) just mature faster in some areas then my peers. But see this was not the case, I remember a time in which I was in high school and hanging with me and my girlfriends at the movies or wherever it was we hang out on the weekends. Some and not everything they tried to have theory. I would always think about what the Holy Bible said that particular thing and relate how situations how in my life were similar so I could overcome them.…
