LADLAD Partylist?

[samamar21]

---

Abunda did not take this statement sitting down. Abunda lambasted the poll body for reportedly calling the group a “source of immorality.” He said in his show "SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon:" "'Yong sinabi ng Comelec na ‘Ang Ladlad’ is parang the source of immorality, sabi ni Mayor [Rodrigo] Duterte (of Davao City) ngayong araw (Tuesday) sa mga front page, it is bigotry of the highest order. Para sa akin, 'yan ay isang katangahan." "Para sa akin, isang malinaw talaga na walang pang-unawa na tama [ang Comelec]. And you are a government agency, 'yon lamang," Abunda added.

Abunda’s co-host and close friend Kris Aquino also defended her gay friend. “You are mean. And the gay people naman are taxpayers. So, what's the problem?" Aquino said.

Duterte backs Ang Ladlad vs Comelec

DAVAO City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte came to the rescue of the gay group seeking party-list representation in the House of Representatives.

This was after the Commission on Elections (Comelec) denied its petition saying there are already enough gay and lesbians in Congress.

Duterte said on Sunday the statement made by Comelec Commissioner Nicodemo Ferrer claiming that Ladlad gay group is no longer needed because Congress already awash with homosexuals is "bigotry to the highest order."

"That statement is a bigotry to the highest order. You cannot deny representation of any group. Who are you to deny them. That's prejudice. Kung gusto sa Pilipino na punuon ug bayot ang Congress so be it," Duterte said.

The mayor said gays are very much useful to the society and should not be discriminated simply because of their sexual preference.

"For as long as me utok ka and you have the capability to lead. Daghang bayot sa kalibutan. Kanang inyong mga asawa na gusto magpagwapa adto man nag bayot. So ibig sabihin kinahanglan ninyo ug bayot," the city mayor said matter-of-factly.

"Ako wala gyud koy problema. Nagahalok kog babae, lalaki ug bayot. I do not discriminate against my fellowmen," he added.

"That's not a good policy of the government. Dili gyud pwede mamili. That's embodied in the freedom of expression. Ma-TKO mo ana," Duterte warned.

The mayor urged Ang Ladlad to file a case before the Supreme Court. He said if he is only a practicing lawyer at the moment, he would have offered his services to the gay group.

"I'm very much willing to handle a case to be filed before the Supreme Court. I think they should go to the SC (Supreme Court) and seek a ruling there. Swerte lang mo kay kung nabayot ko, ako gyud mag-una ug protesta. Unya karon kung bayot diay ko, unsaon man nato na," Duterte said. (BOT)

The COMELEC did the right and moral thing!

It is great that they have never forgotten God and His teachings.

To support the COMELEC's moral victory, I urge everyone here to destroy the Separation of Church and State!

The Philippines is a nation of God. Homosexuals should be outlawed.

"...In a ruling dated November 11, the Comelec said that although the party presented proper documents and evidence for their accreditation, their petition is "dismissable on moral grounds."

Page 5 of the ruling states that Ang Ladlad's definition of the LGBT sector as a marginalized sector who are disadvantaged because of their sexual orientation "makes it crystal clear that the petitioner tolerates immorality which offends religious beliefs."

The document quotes passages from both the Bible and the Koran (taken from internet site Bible.org, Home of NET Bible on-line, Bible Study tools, Free Bible | Bible.org; NET Bible, Bible Study) that describe homosexuality as "unseemly" or "transgressive."

The Comelec goes on to state that accrediting Ang Ladlad would pose risks for Filipino youth.

"Should this Commission grant the petition, we will be exposing our youth to an environment that does not conform to the teachings of our faith," the ruling stated..."

Aws, naa ra man diay ni. naa man sad diay rason..hehe

i think it would have been better if the comelec denied ladlad base on other thing like they are not marginalized rather than morality...

we have women interest groups as partylist in congress why not third *** interest groups?

they might push for additional cr in public places... or anti-discrimination act againt member of the third ***...

or push for common law partnership between gays and lesbians although not marriage...

Unya ug makadaug ni sila nya mag propose ug mga balaud like marriage sa same ***...samot kalabad ulo..hehehe

[gikapoy]

daghan naman bayot sa congress ngano kailangan man jud nga naa partylist?
