Sapilitan ba yan!

If you find that ironic then what about you? Don’t find it ironic na you claim to be a female but you are a male? I have nothing against the LGBT community pero sobra naman na hinihinge niyo hinde na equality e. Entitlement gusto niyo

You are not being discriminated what the People wants is for LGBTQ to respect also the sensitivities of real women... you are asking for entitlement and that is too much

respeto sa ibang matitino, but these the are ones who were NOTHING BUT SELFISH INDIVIDUALS, WHO ARE THINKING ONLY THEIR HUMAN FLESH NEEDS.. nabubuang na at nawala na sa realidad.. hey people, HINDI LANG KAYO ANG NABUBUHAY..NASAAN ANG KONSENSYA NIYO?

Are lesbians & gays really being discriminated in the PH? If so, why is vice ganda so rich? Why can they practise their profession or work in the PH? Is that toilet incident a valid reason to give them special treatment through the SOGIE bill?

You are funny. You want respect but can't respect other's opinion? Why not just build your own world, and you all live there, im pretty sure you will have hiv and die all together. Research and you'll find out the 1 carrier of hiv if you don't believe me. Respect huh?

and these crazies just keeps coming!!!

What kind of basis that should be, Sir Fontanos?

So just because one works or worked in showbiz means na obliged ang workers dun na tanggapin ang mga bading? Di ba pwedeng tolerate lang kasi trabaho e pero may sariling belief at paninindigan na may sapat na lugar lahat ng uri ng tao? Again, entitlement! Protect real women!
