PHILIPPINES: LGBT Radio Switches to Podcasting - IPS ipsnews.net: By Kara Santos*
MANILA, Feb 9, 2012 (IPS) - Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) issues have generally been ignored in the Philippines, or worse, negatively portrayed to spice up mainstream media programmes.
News of raids on gays, killings or violence involving them gets splashed all over the tabloids and primetime news when "nothing else is happening", reinforcing negative stereotypes.
What made a dent in that situation was the entry of ‘Rainbow Radio Philippines’, Manila’s first and only LGBT radio show that was aired every Saturday afternoon from November 2009 to April 2010.
Conceptualised and run by the Rainbow Rights Project (R-Rights), a group of lesbian and gay lawyers and legal activists, and supported by the Global Fund for Women, the weekly programme gathered Filipino LGBT, their families and supporters to share and discuss issues, news and events.
