Abstract
This study explores the narratives of self-acceptance of sexuality and the coming-out process among older LGBTQ+ Filipino adults, and its impact on their psychological well-being Using a narrative approach and grounded on the minority stress theory, the research seeks to understand how these individuals navigate their identities in the context of cultural expectations, familial obligations, and societal changes. Through in-depth interviews with ten participants, the study uncovers diverse pathways to self-acceptance, highlighting that, unlike Western-centric models of LGBTQ+ identity development, public coming out is not always central to their journey. Instead, selective disclosure and cultural adaptation emerge as significant strategies for affirming identity while maintaining familial and societal ties. Findings suggest that self-acceptance is an ongoing, dynamic process shaped by lived experiences and social transformations. Despite enduring systemic discrimination and internalized stigma, many participants demonstrated resilience, finding ways to integrate their identities while preserving important relationships and cultural values. This process was pivotal in enhancing their psychological well-being. The study emphasizes the need for culturally sensitive approaches in mental health services, and community support systems to better address the unique challenges of aging LGBTQ+ individuals in the Philippines.
