, where several lawmakers insisted on repeatedly interpellating the sponsor of the measure, Senator Risa Hontiveros. This eventually led to the death of the bill in the 17th Congress.Diez’ ordeal renewed calls for the passage of the SOGIE Equality Bill, which has been refiled in the House and the Senate.
But this also ignited opposition to the bill, with some senators arguing that this is no longer needed, as there are enough laws to protect LGBTQ+ people from discrimination.Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel “Migz” Zubiri has also said that some senators are more inclined to support a bill that prohibits all kinds of discrimination, instead of a measure that only bans discrimination on the basis of SOGIE.
She added that just as women and other minorities have special laws to protect them, LGBTQ+ people should also be protected by specific legislation tailored to them. “Those who have less in life should have more in law. Members of the LGBT community in the Philippines very obviously have so much less in life because we experience discrimination and violence on the basis of our sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and of course sex characteristics … and we deserve equality under the law,” Fontanos said.
