The country should focus on the welfare of everyone something that we can all benefit. Admit it or not we are a product of heterosexual union. America's narrative I won't mention jumping on the bandwagon. I believed that this thing just famous in other countries but is not valid.

religion shouldn’t decide the laws of the country and the rights of the filipinos! just say yall r homophobic and go

Trash

ibalik sa basurahan ang basura

Good news.

wag naman sana sa bansa natin guys.

pls wag satin

H O M O P H O B I C

di nga pwedeng magbanyo, kasal pa kaya

Predominantly Catholic country? The country whom DU30 labasted their religion? Yet not so much Filipinos said nothing?

Bakit kasi yung sogie bill walang provision for civil union? Tapos pipilitin natin yung SC to declare the Family Code unconstitutional? In the first place same sex marriage is a misnomer for this because they are after civil rights

jus when u tot government has the power but is controlled by the most dominant religion OnLy.

FLOPS

so isn't the state being too biased for choosing sides? if everyone is up for equal rights, then why is the court junking equal rights for others just because Philippines is a predominantly Catholic Country? look, legalizing same-sex marriage does not requires everyone to marry-

Correct decision and reasoning!

Ang ating pamahalaan ay dapat na maging secular, wala dapat impluwensya ng kahit na anong relihiyon sa paggawa ng mga batas at desisyon na para sa mas nakakarami, at patas para sa lahat. Kung ayaw nila maniwala sa kahit anong belief, sino tayo para husgahan sila?

Ang hinihingi lang nila ay civil recognition at rights na nasa ilalim ng batas para sa mga mag asawa. Bakit yung iba, pinagduduldulan ang isyu ng moralidad?, gayong ang gobyerno ay dapat na maging patas sa lahat, ano man ang relihiyong kinabibilangan o wala man.

Philippines the only country will be bless by God. Catholic country po tayo. Gusto nyo ba maging Sodom and Gomorrah ang Pilipinas?Equality but not SSM legalization.Sorry LBGTQ+ Community i had so much respect with all guys. respect the HOLY MATRIMONY man and woman.

I can say people are close minded with other's opinion and commenting

Sa wakas nnalo rn ang mga taong tutol sa SameSex marriage..tanx SC..

sorry ha pero di lahat kami catholic

Basa lang ng comments 🤣

So much BS

Can someone enlighten me about this: 'From its plain text, the Constitution does not define, or restrict, marriage on the basis of sex, gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression,' Does this mean if it's a civil marriage it will be legal?

TRASH

Lets leave the real junk Magpakasal nalang ta sa gawas

Sa naintindihan ko Yung nag Petition ay Hindi pala ikakasal so sayang. Pay pag-asa sana. I'm okay with same sex marriage, I only follow the ten commandments Not THE BIBLE (which created by humans).. better luck next time. LOVE HAS NO GENDER!

Homos need to get out of Philippine. If you want to commit this abomination just go to Canada and the United states. 'If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.'

Find this dumb, LIKE Spain the one that COLONIZED US and even brought CHRISTIANITY TO US. LEGALIZED SAME SEX MARRIAGE IN THE EARLY 2000 EVEN THE USA HAS LEGALIZED IT. UGHHHH WTF loveislove LoveWins LGBT LegalizeSameSexMarriage

I'm okay with same sex relationship but same sex marriage which doesn't go along with the traditions and beliefs of the Catholicism is a no. Don't force it. People are open minded and the lgbts are loved as of todays.

Clearly the family code restricts LGBTQ+ from marrying. Isn't that enough for it to pass?

Based

jillywonker 😭😭💔

This is a disappointment. I’m so sorry for all members of the LGBTQ+ community. But I remain optimistic. One day, we’ll get there. We’ll be able to separate religion from the law of the land. Equal rights for everyone.

A rare win against global homosexual colonization

ok boomer.

Meanwhile, they still haven't put these catholic priests in jail for sexually abusing women and children. What a bunch of hypocrites. Eww

Oh well ..

Very upsetting, Christianity preaches true and complete love for all.

Matatanda yung nasa supreme court and still go to the tradition of the church. Of course it will be junked. But I believe that one day, same sex marriage will be a right and this time, there will be more people who will accept this idea.

Anyone that doesn't understand that LGBT folks are only wanted basic human rights, are surely been smoking crack. And for the love of God, the Bible is pretty been having lots of translations that bigots love to justify it

Pano uunlad pilipinas kung simpleng karapatan ayaw ibigay sa mga LGBT? Does the existence of LGBT people endanger the community? No it does fucking not. And don't give me with that 'we're a Catholic country' bullshit not everyone is a Catholic you insensitive fuck. Love is love.

Yes! Yes! Goodness prevailed

stan loona mga hetero

Babae at lalake lang ang ginawa ng dios. Basahin nio ang bibliya. Bawal kayo magpakasal.

Catholic in name, uncatholic in behavior.

Good Decision.👍🏾

Marami magagalit at magplano lumipat ng ibang bansa

When delusions of grandeur hits the fan... And it turned out to be shit. Sobrang sayang ng case na ito. It also strengthened the misconceptions of those who do not understand. Civil rights cases should be a team effort, not a stepping stone to greatness. Pasikat kasi. 😕😕😕

Anong kagaguhan na naman to 🙄🤬

Dear Lawyers, When you have cases which affect the destinies of a multitude, PLEASE find the PERFECT PLAINTIFFS. The family code defined marriage as between a man and a woman. The best approach would be to challenge that definition. Find a man and a trans woman! mytwocents

Don't worry guys there's still Same Sex Union

hays putangina. di namin hinihinging ikasal sa simbahan nyo. gusto lang namin ng pantay na karapatan.

As if they're gonna get married in your church, keep your rules and policies within your church, just let them enjoy the same rights the heterosexuals are having..

Tama ang ginawa ng Supreme Court 👍❤️👌

'From its plain text, the Constitution does not define, or restrict, marriage on the basis of sex, gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression,' WHY NOT fucking allow it THEN?

BASURA
