Stephen, Non-Binary, Gay, HIV Advocate, Yoga Teacher, Writer – is this week’s relatable role-model on QUEER AND IT’S WORKING.

I am so glad that I got to spend time talking with Stephen, a lovely person that is really doing fantastic work for the LGBTQ+ community of The Philippines. We talked about his work as a HIV Advocate for people in rural parts of The Philippines as well his online presence, offering support and education on PLHIV (People living with HIV).

We also discussed mental health and how important it is to take care of ourselves. Stephen is an award-winning advocate and activist. They are astoundingly vulnerable and informative in their writing work. And not to be forgotten, they are very bendy. You go Stephen, bend for me baby!

Stephen came recommended by Apcom.org, a non-profit organisation that works to improve the health and rights of LGBTQI+ individuals across Asia and the Pacific.

Stephen writes for Outrage Magazine, which gives a voice to LGBTQIA+ Philippines.

Thank you, Stephen, so much for sharing your story.
