We are in no position to question and discount the identity of Sara Duterte. However, we criticize her representation of the community; what has she done and what are her programs for the community?
Yesterday, the SOGIE Equality Bill passed the House Committee Level! ✊🌈
Our fight continues. Together, we will continue our struggle to

Pansexuality is attraction towards people regardless of their gender.

TW: Murder, Violent Killing
Earlier today, June 10, 24-year old queer person Tatiana “Tats” Tumicad was found dead in a cornfield in Barangay Naguilian Sur, Ilagan City.
#JusticeForTats
DISBAR LARRY GADON FOR VIOLATION OF RA 11166!
Under Sec. 44 of RA 11166, disclosing information regarding a person's HIV status is UNLAWFUL.
We condemn this act of privacy violation and misinformation committed by Larry Gadon, a lawyer who should know better!
#DisbarGadon
We will never forgive Duterte for pardoning his fellow murderer Pemberton.
This is a direct attack not just to Jennifer & her family but to every trans person & every victim of our corrupt & unequal “justice” system.

#OustDuterte
In 2016, Pacquiao made clear of his homophobic beliefs, labeling us in the LGBTQI community 'worse than animals'.
It's time to stop making excuses to discriminate against us. Hindi kami mas masahol sa mga hayop, TAO KAMI.

HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT IMMORAL. HATE IS.

PRIDE IS RESISTANCE, AND TO RESIST IS A HUMAN RIGHT! ✊🏻🏳️🌈
We condemn the unlawful arrest of our LGBTQI siblings and allies who marched for equal rights at Morayta today.
We urge our allies to stand in solidarity with us in calling for their immediate release‼️

The allegations against Pura are acts of bigotry disguised as acts of faith. They wish to curtail our freedom of expression: to express our art, identities, and faith.
By faith, we profess: Pura Luka Vega is innocent.
#IStandWithPuraLukaVega

In a time when the Filipino people are being robbed in broad daylight, when our fisherfolk are threatened, our leaders resort to denying a drag queen of their rights.
Pura Luka Vega’s arrest further exposes our nation’s failings.

Bro. Villanueva: The separation of church and state is a statement that has been abused. You can never separate God and the state. To be anti-God is a sign of insanity.

The SOGIE Equality Bill is for everyone because everyone has SOGIE.

KEEP PEMBERTON IN JAIL!
Letting a man walk free after he brutally murdered a trans woman for being trans sends a clear message that our lives don’t matter & that we’re just second-class citizens in our own country.

Although we wish this were true, THE SOGIE EQUALITY BILL IS NOT YET A LAW. A lot of work still needs to be done. 🏳️🌈✊🏻
In the Senate, it still has to undergo 2nd and 3rd reading. In the House, it still needs to be approved by the committee. (1/2)

As we grieve and demand justice for her death, we must continue to dissent and challenge the systemic prejudice that violates and dehumanizes transgender individuals every single day.

TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN, and including women in women’s pageants is not “asking too much.” It’s the bare minimum.

Today let’s celebrate all our pansexual siblings, and fight in solidarity with them for acceptance, recognition, human rights, and safe spaces wherein gender won't define love—wherein we can love who we want to love proudly and without fear.
TW: RAPE
Clothes have nothing to do with rape. You can wear nothing or be fully dressed and still get abused.
Rapists rape because they’re rapists. They rape because of the patriarchal system of rape culture, victim blaming and sexual violence.

UP Babaylan condemns in the strongest possible terms the blatant act of discrimination against Ms. Gretchen Diaz.
We call on the Quezon City government to enforce their ADO, and hold Farmer's Market Cubao and The Araneta Center accountable.
Rep. Torre: If we are taking the interest of the child and learners, I hope we take interest in studies that show LGBT children experience bullying and are not able to express themselves. Their ability to learn is being compromised.
