Abstract: ENRIQUEZ, MARK LORENZ G. and VELASCO, JOHN ISRAEL P., Beking Papa, Keri ba?: Lived Experiences of Homosexual Fathers. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Sciences in Psychology, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. May 2018. Adviser: Ms. Alyssa R. Eseque. The general objective of the study was to describe the lived experiences of homosexual fathers. Specifically, it aimed to determine the: (1) participants’ point of view as homosexual; (2) participants’ point of view being a homosexual father; (3) point of view of participants’ experiences of being a homosexual to a homosexual father and; (4) view of the problems they encountered being a homosexual father. Purposive sampling and snowball technique were used in choosing eight (8) participants. This was conducted in Cavite from August 2017 to May 2018. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to analyze the data gathered which were transcribed to identify the superordinate theme and subthemes of the study. Data were gathered using a semi-structured interview. The semi-structured interview guide had five parts which include the demographic profile of the participants, the participants’ experiences being gay, the participants’ aspirations as a gay, the participants’ experiences being a father, and the participants’ aspirations as a gay father. Results revealed that the homosexual fathers were primed by the society which becomes their basis of their own perception. There are challenges they experienced as soon as they embraced their fatherhood but they surpassed all of these challenges all for the benefits of their child and family. These experiences become their own perception of themselves before because they were primed. As a father, they see themselves as an image of a responsible father. All of the participants look at themselves as a good provider and a role model which normal fathers usually think of themselves. From the findings, it was concluded that homosexual fathers used to be afraid of the society’s judgement. The participants once tried to hide their true identity to keep themselves safe and secured from the verdict the society has towards homosexuals. They view themselves as normal fathers and even more than common fathers who are straight because they have feminine side. They provide the necessities of their families just like a responsible father does, they give free will to their child just like a supportive father does, they do not want any harm or any form of maltreatment for their child. They feel the sense of fulfillment of fatherhood because of the recognition from their families. They perceived fatherhood as challenging and life changing. Most of all, fatherhood leads them to success. The challenges they face serve as inspiration and stepping stones for them to reach their goals in life.

Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to analyze the data gathered which were transcribed to identify the superordinate theme and subthemes of the study. Data were gathered using a semi-structured interview.

The semi-structured interview guide had five parts which include the demographic profile of the participants, the participants’ experiences being gay, the participants’ aspirations as a gay, the participants’ experiences being a father, and the participants’ aspirations as a gay father.

There are challenges they experienced as soon as they embraced their fatherhood but they surpassed all of these challenges all for the benefits of their child and family. These experiences become their own perception of themselves before because they were primed.

As a father, they see themselves as an image of a responsible father. All of the participants look at themselves as a good provider and a role model which normal fathers usually think of themselves.

From the findings, it was concluded that homosexual fathers used to be afraid of the society’s judgement. The participants once tried to hide their true identity to keep themselves safe and secured from the verdict the society has towards homosexuals.
