[ID: three photos of peafowl that has a green chest and neck, white speckled head and wings, and tail a little longer than a female with the feathers of a male. end ID.]

Hi! I saw your post about white peafowls and I was wondering, since you know so much about peafowls, do you know anything about intersex peafowls? (Is that the word for male and female animals?). I looked it up, but I only found a half colored, half white peacock labelled as being "bilateral gynandromorph" which has me confused? Because peahens are not naturally white? idk this comes kinda out of nowhere and it's fine if you don't have the answer. Thank you for your time tho!

I’ve only seen one intersex pea in my life, from George Conner, although I understand that there are similar ones out there.

This bird was 10 years old at the time of these photos, and just always looked like that. They do not court or lay eggs.

You are correct in that the photo you saw is not a gynandromorph. Sex has got nothing to do with whether or not a bird is white.

Should we hate the LGBTQIA+ community here in the Philippines?

What is Homophobic?, Homophobic or Homophobia is showing range of negative attitude towards people who identified or perceived as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual(LGBTQIA+), for example, saying harmful jokes towards trans. Then what is LGBTQIA+?. The LGBTQIA+ is an initialism that stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersexual, and Asexual or used to describe the community of people who don't identify as heterosexual, straight, or cisgender(Kevin le). Because of the society they tend to be discriminated alongside getting harassment and this event happen in many reasons ,if standing is the question , My stand as an individual is we shouldn't hate every LGBTQIA+ people instead we should give them support and love.

Eversince the LGBTQIA+ community arise in the globe this has been distinguish as a global hindrance but is it been a problem, or people are just speculating or assuming that theseq who's called immorals are the true problem?. My stand will remain strong why? because of some points, first is because the Philippines is one of the most gay-friendly country in the world, base on the survey conducted out of Of the 39 countries covered by a global survey, only 17 countries had majorities that accepted homosexuality, with the Philippines ranking at number 10 among the 17 (Tubeza). We can say that 80% of us our Catholic but despite of it Filipinos' manage to accept LGBTQIA+ people in fact 73% of Filipino think that Homosexuality should be accepted by society (Abad), and we can see that up until today but only tolerance is present not the support. But just like in many homes accepting the truth is still hard and seems difficult to understand. One of the major reason why people tend to get the same reaction when seeing gay person is the lack of information that's why government should provide such advertisement that talks about lgbt people. Nevertheless, if you observe your surrounding most of the time gay people are the most trusted and comfortable person to be around, you can see everywhere a friendship that consist of straight people being hanging around in gay person, "it's not fun anymore when you don't have a gay friend" they say and it's true, in fact straight women and gay men are the most comfortable duo, it's because straight women don't mate with gay men, In other words, because gay men are attracted to their own gender, they’re a “safe bet” for women (Russell). Seond. Human rights, just like heterosexual people, LGBTQIA+ people are human too. Human rights is the right to life, liberty, security and property. We have the right to a transparent, credible, competent and impartial justice system, free from influence and corruption, where wrongs are redressed and justice is dispensed fairly, speedily and equitably (hurights osaka). In school most of us, thought that school is a safe place since its for everyone but not on gay students, gay students find their schooling paired by harassment, discrimination, and worst bullying. Example of this is the everyday picture of our gay friends they tend to get catcalling, taking harmful jokes, questioning if why didn't got straight, and jokingly asking if their parents know who they are. Moments like this reflect on the actions of the school and it result to lack of protection and orientation in LGBTQIA+ people. Not just in school but in workplace, Researcher Patricia Angela Luzano Enriquez found out that 25 percent of respondents have experienced harassment from their employers or superior officers, 33 percent have experienced harassment from co-workers, and 60 percent have been the subject of slurs and jokes in the workplace (CNN Philippines). Furthermore giving the same treatment for gay people is giving them the freemdom they deserve. I mean we're both living in the same society but differ when it comes to sexual orientation so we should promote each other how? . Stop Generalizing them, Generalizing gay people doesn't help you in growing as an individual, you might think it's ok but it's not. Be educated, read some articles and ask an expert or experienced. Being inform can help you to know Gay people better and if you're not comfortable just take your self isolated and give your self a space. These matters can be simple but it change when it comes to LGBT people.

Every person on this planet is unique and special, be equal to others and treat them fairly. In this day our society is slowly accepting the LGBTQIA+ Community. I know not all gay people are the same sometimes theyre also the one who starts bad, what i mean is let's make ourselves clear when it comes to these kind of people, they have a heart and feelings too so we must accept and support them.
