MERGED: Gay Marriage in the Philippines

[high_heels]

And that is why we are a democratic country, we are free to express our opinions on the mater.. just because we are LGBT does not make us any less of a FILIPINO citizen. Our forefathers fought wars so we could enjoy that freedom, Who gives you the right to expel us from this country just because we do not share your narrow mindset?

It is because of bigoted homophobic people like you that a lot of LGBT choose to hide their sexuality.
Imagine this: Sometime in the future your son tells you that he is gay, I dare you to tell him the things you are saying now.. would you tell him to migrate to another country? your own flesh and blood.. think about that

and who the hell are you to shove it in my face to accept your dillusions you can cohabit and play house anytime you want to..Have your own wedding rituals (motuwad ba mo or mo tumbling ba mo diha) I still don't care. But stop insisting that me and the rest of the people here will acknowledge much more allow you to have it legalized. You scream for equality and and rights YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN YOUR RIGHTS LONG BEFORE YOU CAME OUT FROM YOUR MOTHERS WOMB! and its like gays like you are obviously annoying insisting on the same thing over and over again! Who the hell told you that I am expelling LGBT's, I said go find another country where GAY MARRIAGE is the norm and is well accepted by society...because what is obvious is the REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES doesnt!

wake up and smell the coffee for crying out loud!

Shallow?! wahaha Lame excuse. You really know nothing about family..wahaha . tawn sad. I have heard similar excuses, di ko mahibong sa imong excuse. but the fact is, di nimo matubag ang issue. the Gay marriage will not solve anything, it only opens more problems. If you talk about rights, parehas ra na sa drug addicts has no right diay? should illegal drugs be allowed (bisan MJ)?. Pag sure oi.. di consistent ang imong gibarogan. tawn sad oi.

My Mother is happy living with our support & so is my dad. Both didn't saw the need to get married to another partner anymore, should i explain why?! Irresponsible parenthood is not an excuse for divorce..tawn sad nimo oi. Clearly you were abused as a child guro mao nang wa ka kasabot.I would assume your family didnt accept you as who you are. And perhaps your extended family is not that extended afterall. Abusive partners belong to jail. If you really think everything in this world is free, think again...

Your right, I know nothing about your family.. and that was a bit below that belt, for that I apologize.. Just had a few hours sleep so I'm a bit grumpy.

Allow me to make my statement as clear and as objective as I possibly can.

Marriage Equality will provide equal treatment and protection to LGBT couples. Aside from the obvious medical, social welfare and tax benefits. We are making them feel that they are part of the community, the filipino community that embraces family values above all else. We are telling them that they do not have to feel like they are second class citizens because they are not straight.
We eliminate the feelings of shame and guilt on our LGBT citizens.
We imbibe on our future generation a climate of acceptance (who knows what the future may hold, maybe one day one of you guys will have a gay son or a lesbian daughter)

cheers!

when you calm down a bit, well talk again

@eve

Might I suggest another thing.. try having a chat with your brother. Ask him about his views on the matter, on his relationships, heartaches etc.
I am sure you will find that there really isn't much difference between a heterosexual couple and a same-*** couple. Good times, bad times, ups and downs.. its all part of the package.. its part of all relationships

actually, my brother & i are in good terms. i couldn't say we are the best buddies but we understand each other labi na nga niagi mi sa same problems (except he is gay). his sexual orientation was never an issue in our family.. we love him for who he is & who he loved(i do respect & support him, even financially). he has brought his partner in our house before. they lived with us & there were no issues. My brother has our respect because he is "respectable". I understand how hard it is for them (even if i am not gay). but the fact still remains, a law like this still doesn't change anything to improve his life. why? because he still needs to work, he still needs to take care of himself. marrying for those benefits? i'm sorry but you lost me there. men has no PMS, we should be able to take care of ourselves. Love & commitment is not only found on a piece of paper (& so does marraige).

Is it not what you are exactly saying though, that because we are LGBT and we want to get married we should find another place where that is accepted?

By your analogy



Back then people were so against interracial couples, had those couples listened to those bigots, they would have just migrated to other countries and america still wouldn't allow interracial couples to marry right?

This is about taking a stand about what is right, NOT just running away from a problem because the General population is against your views.

I agree with you on this matter that people should marry for love and not just for the benefits.. but in the long run, If and when your brother decides that his boyfriend is the person he wants to spend the rest of his life with.. insurance money and stuff like that will eventually matter.

when he gets a job, and that job offers philhealth insurance.. if they were married, his husband if he were to get sick, would have philhealth coverage of up to P11,000 in medical bills

If they decide to adopt a child, they would have tax exemptions up to P20,000

yes it is sad, but sometimes money does matter

Lol!!!!! They are interracial couples....still they are a MAN AND A WOMAN. Not man and man or woman to woman right? As what I said, comparing oranges and apples!
