[OPINION | Dash of SAS] Humanizing SOGIE

When Queenmelo Esguerra was 14, the high school principal suspended her and her friends for leading and organizing a gay group. “I was actually asking my friends to look at my fashion magazines and teaching them how to do a catwalk,” said Esguerra.

The next day, Esguerra’s father went to school with her to see the principal, who immediately went into the problem: “Your son is very gay.” She had always been accepted by her family, but that day left an indelible mark on her. “The most important person in my life accepted and celebrated me for who I am. I will never forget that,” said Esguerra, founder of Love is All We Need, a collective of LGBTQ+ organizations in the Philippines.

Recognizing that there are no legal protection in the Philippines specifically for SOGIE individuals, Humanizing SOGIE will organize a series of community dialogues among the LGBT and allied communities to call for the passage of the anti-discrimination bill that prohibits discrimination on the basis of SOGIE.

you must be kidding.

I think there’s acceptance. But what they are sometimes demanding for makes it seem like they want more to the point that they are willing to deprive others of their own rights and that they would blaspheme.

NOTOSOGIEBILL

why would these people demand acceptance...when they themselves cannot accept what was given to them by the ALMIGHTY!!!
