Why do a fourth of Filipino Americans vote conservative despite anti-immigrant rhetoric?
On the campaign trail in 2016, Donald J. Trump spoke at a rally in Portland and made headlines with his views on immigration, addressing refugees as “animals” from “terrorist nations” — and he named the Philippines.

A look into the intersection between Filipino and LGBTQ+ history this October provides some insight for this phenomenon.
