    CHAPTER I

    THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

    1.1 Background of the Study

    The romantic relationships have become an integral part of adolescents’ daily lives, and dating is the
    primary topic of adolescent conversations (Eder, 1993). Having romantic feelings and attempting to
    engage in romantic relationships are significant indicators of adolescence experiences ( Giordano et al.,
    2006). Engagement in same-sex relationships among students is a topic of significant interest. Since the
    Supreme Court ruling on June 26, 2015, legalizing same-sex marriage, students have become more open
    about their feelings and questions on this subject. Same-sex attraction refers to emotional, physical, or
    sexual attraction

    To a person of the same gender. The experience of same-sex attraction is not the same for everyone.
    Some people may feel exclusively attracted to the same gender, while others may feel attracted to both
    genders.

    The study recognizes that same-sex relationships have gained increased visibility and acceptance in
    recent years reason why students nowadays are engaging in this kind of relationship. Most research on
    the development of early romantic relationships has focused on heterosexual relationships and
    therefore less is known about the development of same-sex romantic or sexual relationships. Few have
    further examined the development of romantic or sexual relationships among same-sex individuals;
    however, there exists a substantial body of literature which instead focuses on the origin of same-sex
    attraction.
    In the Philippines, local activists have tried to avoid this discussion in favor of advocating

    Anti-discrimination laws (Lim & Jordan, 2013). Nevertheless, it is an important issue to discuss, as
    studies have shown that legal recognition of same-sex partners reduces social exclusion,

    Alleviates the oppressive efects of institutionalized stigma, and increases access to more benefits and
    resources, which in turn can improve mental

    And physical health (Badgett, 2009 ; Bufe, 2010).

    For same-sex couples, creating and expressing commitment in the context of an intimate relationship is
    a complicated task. The lack of institutional and social supports for same-sex couples and the
    accompanying stigmatization and discrimination have important psychosocial implications for couple.
    This social context creates a need for couples to anticipate and negotiate relationship definitions
    (Kuehlew in &Gottschalk, 2000; Green & Mitchell, 2002), including their definition of commitment to a
    long-term, mutually beneficial and satisfying intimate relationship.

    The impact of same-sex partnership recognition on relationship duration therefore remai unknown, and
    comparable heterosexual and same-sex long-term marital data are not yet available. Scientists have
    found that the psychological and social aspects of committed relationships between same-sex partners
    largely resemble those of heterosexual partnerships. Like heterosexual couples, same-sex couples form
    deep emotional attachments and commitments. Same-sex and heterosexual couples alike face similar
    issues concerning intimacy, love, loyalty, and stability, and they go through similar processes to address
    those issues.
    Same-sex relationship among Senior High School Students is rampant nowadays but the more the
    LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Queer or Questioning) becomes recognized and accepted,
    the more people also are engaging in same-sex relationship. There are many factors that influences
    them in engaging same-sex relationship and why they engage in such things, which is why this study is
    conducted, to explore and discuss what are the factors behind it and the results will contribute to the
    existing body of literature on same-sex relationships by providing knowledge of how it is really done.

    relationships among Senior High School Students. This study focused on the factors that influenced
