Controversy

[edit]

"Being Gay" interview article

[edit]

On March 11, 2013, Christine Bersola-Babao published a newspaper article titled "Being Gay" where she interviewed the television psychologist Camille Garcia, a Catholic conservative on what to do when a child is showing "signs" of being gay.[6][7] Bersola-Babao alsoadded her method of raising her three-year-old son. The article became a trending topic on Twitter.[8]

The article also failed to cite peer reviewed studies to back it. The Psychological Association of the Philippines noted that this ran counter to the professional and ethical commitments of the Psychological Profession.[9]

The Psychological Association of the Philippines stated:

The PAP enjoins Filipino psychologists to stand by their professional and ethical commitments to affirm the rights and wellbeing of all individuals. Its position paper on Non-Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression reads, “The PAP Code of Ethics (2010) is clear in its stance against discrimination. Filipino psychologists are called upon to recognize the unique worth and inherent dignity of all human beings; and to respect the diversity among persons and peoples. This means that Filipino psychologists should not discriminate against or demean persons based on actual or perceived differences in characteristics including gender identity and sexual orientation.[10]

Bersola-Babao and Garcia's statements received criticism from Filipinos.[7][11][12] The Ang Ladlad political party stated that “outdated and destructive gender stereotypes are not helpful and can have adverse effects on children’s sexual orientation and gender identity development.”[13]
