Logline

Nine out and proud Filipinos with different intersectionalities share their stories and experiences on how it is to be LGBTIQ+ in the Philippines during the 2018 Metro Manila Pride March.

Story

Philippines, although a predominantly Catholic country, has openly embraced many LGBTQ members in their film, entertainment, politics, and business communities; however, tolerance differs from true equality. 25 years have passed since the first pride march took place in Manila, yet equal rights advancement is still a long journey to go for the LGBTQ community in the Philippines. With a visually-impaired lesbian, a HIV positive gay man, a transgender couple, a pansexual man and a lesbian family, underneath all the various labels, what do they all have in common? Love is the universal language
