In Part 2 of our interview with veteran activist and lesbian visibility advocate Giney Villar, we discussed her experiences as a lesbian woman in the Philippines. We delved into how she realized her identity in her early years and found her tribe in a lesbian collective.

She also shared the challenges she faced finding employment as a lesbian in the '80s, and how she refused to compromise and stayed true to herself. Giney also highlighted the importance of feminism and how the personal is political, as she discovered a language to express her feelings and navigate societal norms.

Listen as we explore Giney's story and the vibrant era of the 1980s Philippines, where disco music and colorful fashion set the stage for a generation seeking spaces of their own.
