Outrage Magazine - the only le***an, gay, bis*xual, transgender, q***r, questioning, inters*x and ally (LGBTQIA) publication in the Philippines - was launched in April 2007 to highlight everything LGBTQIA-related in the country.
Headquartered in Makati City, the Global Forum on MSM & HIV (MSMGF)-listed publication was founded by Michael David C. Tan, a Bachelor of Arts (Communication Studies) graduate of the University of Newcastle in New South Wales, Australia, who now serves as its chief editor. Tan won the 2006 Catholic Mass Media Awards for Best Investigative Report.
The publication (which is available online and in free print form) takes pride in bringing to the fore issues that even mainstream media in the Philippines continue(d) to ignore. For instance, it remains as the only publication in the Philippines with a section on HIV (considering that as of January 2018, 33 Filipinos are already getting infected with HIV every day); it helped introduce to the mainstream the Deaf LGBTQI community in the bigger LGBTQI discussion in the Philippines; et cetera.
It is noteworthy that - although Outrage Magazine started as just that, a publication - starting 2010, it diversified its services. Aside from reporting, it started developing/implementing projects related to issues/subjects it reported on.
Since 2010, for instance, Outrage Magazine formed a partnership with the Bahaghari Center for SOGIE Research, Education and Advocacy (“Bahaghari Center”) for the “I dare to care about equality” campaign, a photo campaign that initially formed part of the celebration of the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT). The campaign - which has been supported by the likes of TV personalities Boy Abunda and Atty. Adel Tamano, veteran journalist Cheche Lazaro, Sen. Chiz Escudero, actress Angel Aquino, and rugby player Jon Morales - is now also held during Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR).
Since March 2012, Outrage Magazine developed a training program for the Deaf LGBTQI Filipinos (called “Deaf Talks”). This has already been implemented in Luzon and in Mindanao (in southern Philippines).
Since 2014, Outrage Magazine developed Pink Ink as a tool to educate, initially, student leaders about LGBTQIA-related and HIV-related issues. Pink Ink was subsequently renamed “Bahaghari Talks” to signify the broadening of its reach, with other beneficiaries including media practitioners, faith-based organizations, HIV advocates and activists, and LGBTQI community organizers, among others.
Outrage Magazine also developed such publications as the “Being LGBT in Asia: Philippines Country Report” (for USAID and UNDP), the first such material that comprehensively looked at the history of the LGBTQI movement in the Philippines and where its leaders see it is headed; and the Media Reference Guide on LGBTQI Pinoy (for USAID) that is recommended reading to guide those providing media coverage to the local LGBTQI community.
Outrage Magazine also holds LGBTQI-related events, including the 4th LGBTQI National Conference in 2017 that gathered over 150 LGBTQI leaders from all over the Philippines to discuss the issues affecting them and how they want to move forward; and #KaraniwangTAO, an ongoing photo exhibit featuring “common” LGBTQI people who - otherwise - do not have opportunities to share their stories.
