Abstract
Reviewed literature revealed a dearth of studies on the views and perspective of LGBTQPIA+ community on heteronormativity and gender roles. In such context, this basic descriptive qualitative study aimed to explore how LGBTQPIA+ members view heteronormativity and gender roles. With the use of an aide-mémoire, six (6) personnel from a public higher education institution in Ilocos Sur, Philippines were interviewed. The cool and warm analyses of the interview transcripts or extended texts revealed that the participants view heteronormativity as a norm and perceive gender roles as assigned, acted, and equality. In such context, it is evident that the society embraces traditional beliefs, and practices and welcomes more diverse and evolving views on heteronormativity and gender roles.
