homosexual are made by man.. God did not make homosexual.. God made man and a woman..
kung friend wala tay mabuhat pero dili kaayo ko magkigsuod ana nila.. pero kung family aw dapogon..

I dont get your point, homosexual are made by man. You must be kidding.

insult them till maka realize siya na dili pwede naay bayot sa family.. ang max penalty sa amo family is disown namo.. mao na sa amo family..

- Now this is discrimination within your family mismo. How sad. Hope none of your kids will be homosexual.

sad bitaw.. i really hope walay bayot sa amo family.. but that our life.. i dont accept homos.. i'll accept anything unsa pa na cya but dili lang jud bayot!

No one is created a homosexual, just as no one is created a murderer or rapist. God gave us freedom. If a perosn chooses to engage in homosexuyal acts, then that is his responsibility. Blaming God for it is a cop-out. That's just like blaming God for our sins by claiming that God created us as sinners.

topics like these always precipitate towards the issue of the supposed "rightness" or "wrongness" of homosexuals/bisexuals/transexuals. sad thing is, that is not even the issue most of the time. the issue is prejudice and discrimination.

i believe what is being pushed forward by this bill is the prohibition of discriminatory practices against homosexuals, et.al., in their capacity for being humans. this is not different from the issue of racism, where the moral question of equating the darnkess of one's skin to evil or a degree of distaste is seldom tackled by law. what is given primary importance is the concept of equality under current laws and the individual's basic rights and humanity.

prejudice is the attitude of hate. discrimination on the other hand is prejudice being acted. law cannot punish pejudice, but it can act on discrimination.

Now I am really confused- no one created homosexual. Then the issue is being diverted to a rapist and murderer. Whats the catch?

hb2784 man to naa sa newspaper... Anti-Discrimination Bill

[Jpacs29]

i think they should discuss first kung asa kutob ang ma covered aning bill, dapat tanan klase pag descriminate ilang i apil regardless sa status sa tawo

[north_star]

after ani same *** marriage... wana jud na!!!!

what a homophobic comment.

i'm in the bandwagon if this bill would protect homosexuals (gays and lesbians) from discrimination, especially when applying for a job. you can't underestimate a person just because of his/her sexuality. it does not have anything to do with the job. discrimination due to sexuality, gender, race or color is unfounded and is a disappointing display of ignorance.

how about this...

female
must be single
must be 20 -25 yrs old
willing to work overtime w/out pay
send 2X2 photo

i hate reading newspaper ads like that. those cheap companies who post that should be sued.

i reason to believe it's AKBAYAN Rep. Rosales' HB 00634. i think it's a reworked version of HB 02784
(pdf downloadable text of the bill here look for the "hb634_web.pdf" link)

God asked, Do you love yourself,
I said does it matter,
God said yes,
I said how can I love myself if I am gay?,
God said because that is the way I made you,
Nothing will ever matter again.
