LGBTQIA+ community has become a global movement of gender identity and expression. Rallying towards fair representation, inclusivity, and role in nation building, its members have continually received judgements that are reflectEd with social stereotyping on gender role, work capacities, and even family formation. As generations have progressively changed, the LGBTQIA+ movement also went along, even crossing barriers such as norms that dictate individual identity across generation categories. The study explored the lived experiences on coming out of Generation Y and Z LGBTQIA+ bisexual members in Parañaque. Coming out was one of the most sensitive and more often discussed issues surrounding the LGBTQIA+ community. Coming out refers to the process that people who are LGBTQIA+ go through as they work to accept their sexual orientation or gender identity and share that identity openly with other people. As regards to the partici, they were selected through purposive sampling where five (5) Generation Y and five (5) Generation Z bisexuals who had already come out and the ranges of ages where along the description of their generation category. All participants reported experiences that reveal their coming out stories which involve affecting factors like family, friends, peers and the general public. Participants used discretion when disclosing their experiences based on relevancy, safety or openness of providers which the researchers have ensure them for confidentiality purposes. They indicated that experiences thy directs to their coming out stories were relatively accepting but also posed different reactions from family members, friends, peers, and the general public. Many supportive environments for these bisexuals are coming from their friends and peers whilst for family and in other social settings, reported results vary for some participants.
