In the Philippines, queer individuals face adversities related to their sexual orientation and gender identity and expression (SOGIE), with the country's strong Catholicism perceived as a source of adversity for these individuals. Despite this, studies have found religious involvement and a religious community in certain contexts can be used to strengthen queer individuals' resilience, allowing them to overcome these adversities. The present study investigated queer Catholic emerging adults' experiences of resilience through faith in a Southeast Asian context. Queer Filipino Catholic emerging adults aged between 18 and 25 were interviewed, and their life experiences explored using the narrative approach. Results show and validate queer emerging adults go through various forms of adversities, many of which are related to the religious culture in the country. A hypothesized framework culled from the data depicts how participants were able to overcome these adversities by engaging with a supportive Catholic community, renewing their understanding of faith teachings, and having a sense of providence. A major contribution of the paper is how collectivist behaviors and social responsibility resulting in building communities of resilience can be beneficial in progressing individual queer resilience within the bounds of faith and sexuality. Public Significance StatementThe Catholic faith, despite its current move to become more inclusive, is still perceived as a source of difficulty for Philippines queer individuals with regards to their sexual orientation and gender identity and expression given the faith's power and influence on its populace. Its firm stronghold on traditional paradigms prevents acceptance of various forms of gender identity and expression. However, past studies have found that Catholicism can serve to boost the resilience of queer individuals to overcome the challenges they face since it provides the tableau for individuals to see their connection to the divine and empower them to see the values of their identities. This difference in perspectives created our interest to investigate the life experiences of these queer Filipinos, and through a qualitative approach, formed a narrative of the difficulties they faced as queer individuals, their relationship with their faith, and how they were able to utilize their faith to their advantage as fount of resilience. The 14 young adolescents we interviewed emphasized the need for social responsibility and building communities of resilience in progressing queer resilience. In this way, we can understand that gender resiliency, most especially during the formative years, operates within the intersection of sexuality and faith, and that these 2 are not conflicting but in essence collaborating.
