Copyright date: 2016Subject(s): Stigma (Social psychology) | Gender identity | Experiential learning In: Philippine Journal of Psychology vol. 49, no. 2: (December 2016), pages 173-188Abstract: This study replicates and extends a teaching intervention study by Battle (2004) on the use of advocacy symbols to promote awareness of anti- LGBT stigma among university students. Seventy-one Filipino students in three university campuses taking an undergraduate course in LGBT psychology were given a task as a course requisite to wear an “I w Lesbian and Gay Rights” pin across different settings. Analysis of students’ reflection papers revealed themes related to stigma consciousness, intergroup empathy, allyship sentiments, and transformative learning. Experiences of nonverbal and verbal microaggressions, especially in the private sphere, as well as microvalidations from LGBT people and heterosexual allies were also reported.
