CEBU, Philippines—It was never an easy ride for 31-year-old teacher Zoren Alesna, who, despite knowing it wouldn’t be easy to “come out,” took a step out of his own closet to find what he considers his real self.

The month-long celebration gathers people around the globe together to celebrate the Pride Month, which is dedicated to the uplifting of the voices and culture of the LGBTQIA+ and the support of their rights. “Being a part of LGBTQIA+ community had influence me to become a teacher who strives to do his best for his students. I believe this community and my profession helped me find my purpose in life,” said Alesna.

According to Alesna, “coming out” is a lifelong journey of understanding, acknowledging, and sharing one’s gender identity or sexual orientation with others.Alesna had his family’s support when he came out as a gay.
