Gays, Implications, Philippines, 2000Abstract
The study assessed the self-concept of gays and its implications relative to the extent of their contribution in attaining the aims of Philippines 2000. The study utilized the descriptive research design using the questionnaire as the principal instrument inthe collection of pertinent data. The researcher attempted to elicit data relative to the gay-respondents’ self-concept along seven factor-structures: behavior; intellectual andsocial status; physical appearance and attributes; anxiety/fear; popularity; happiness and satisfaction; as well as morality and spirituality. To find out whether there existed differences among the perceptions of the three groups of respondents, one-way ANNOVA was applied, where the computed F-value of 0.34036 proved to be lesser than the tabular F-value of 3.55 at 0.5 level of significance with degrees of freedomat 2and 12. Therefore, the hypothesis that “there are no significant differences among the perceptions of the three categories of respondents on the extent to which gays contribute towards the implementation of the objectives of Philippines 2000”was accepted. Gays proved to have contributed towards the implementation of the objectives of Philippines 2000 along the following: 1) bureaucracy, 2) economic stability, 3) environment, 4) infrastructure and communication, 5) peace, order and national security, 6) political stability and 7) social reforms. This was evidenced by the fact that all the three groups of respondents gave responses that were all positive towards gays’ contribution to Philippines 2000. The work experience of the gay-respondents showed that they had been in the service for quite a long period of time already
