{"abstract":"This study explores the lived experiences of gays and lesbians at Central Mindanao University (CMU) through a narrative and descriptive research approach. It aims to document their challenges, coping mechanisms, and the extent of recognition they receive within the university community. By weaving together their personal stories, the research provides a critical understanding of the struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQIA+ community, contributing to a broader discourse on inclusion and diversity in higher education. Primary data were gathered through oral interviews with respondents and supplemented by written records from various colleges and the Office of Student Affairs (OSA). A thematic analysis revealed that discrimination, bullying, gossiping, and harassment remain persistent challenges faced by gays and lesbians. However, findings also highlight their remarkable resilience and adaptability, as they excel academically and actively participate in extracurricular activities despite these adversities. Significantly, the study notes a gradual yet meaningful shift in the university’s acknowledgment of the achievements and contributions of gays and lesbians. This growing visibility within organizations and the broader CMU community is a testament to evolving attitudes toward inclusivity and respect. The findings underscore the need for enhanced institutional policies and advocacy efforts to promote equality and safeguard the rights of LGBTQIA+ individuals, providing a roadmap for fostering an inclusive and supportive academic environment. By documenting these experiences, the research sheds light on the intersection of identity, adversity, and success, offering valuable insights into queer history and institutional progress toward equality.","abstract_source":"original","authors":["James Violon","Rex Morales","Sittie Juhanna Pandapatan"],"date":"2025-02-13","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.14861899","id":4511,"issue":2,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"ffc88deb41853aa1a85016bce0954d1d474c46dfdd1817b70c008cd35076469d","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"Voices of Pride: Unveiling the Challenges, Triumphs, and Recognition of LGBTQIA+ Students","volume":32}
