McCutcheon Editor, NAJP Filipino lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender (LGBT) individuals are subjected to discrimination, prejudice and stigma from society, which in turn may contribute to poor mental health. This study investigated the relationships among self-stigma, self-concept clarity, and mental health status among 566 self-identified Filipino LGBTs. Results revealed that high self-stigma is associated with poor mental health among LGBT individuals and high self-concept clarity is associated with good mental health. Moreover, multiple regression findings indicated that self-stigma and self-concept clarity, when taken together, result in a slightly improved regression model for global mental health. Many Filipino LGBTs still continue to experience stigma, prejudice, and discrimination (Psychological Association of the Philippines, PAP, 2011). According to PAP (2011) Filipino LGBTs, as sexual minorities, continue to experience countless amounts of minority stressors from society due to the constant contrast of their values and that of the values of the dominant society (Austria, 2004; Bernardo, 2013; IGLHRC, 2011; Manalastas, 2013; Manalastas & del Pilar, 2005; Ofreneo, 2013). Public opinion also suggests that anti-gay prejudice is alive among Filipinos. In the analysis conducted by Manalastas and del Pilar (2005), a nationally representative survey found that 1 out of 4 Filipinos would reject gay people as neighbors and that 28% of Filipino adults consider being gay as “unacceptable.” The views regarding homosexuality in the Philippines are somewhat attributed to the dominant culture of heterosexuality and religious teachings. Cultural norms are built around the dominant culture of heterosexuality defining same-sex relationships as deviant and immoral while defining man-woman relationships as good, “normal and natural” (Manalastas, 2013, p. 4).
