nothing irks me more than when the government brings in scripture and the koran to defend an immoral decision.
as per pat evangelista,
On November 11, Ferrer denied the petition of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender group “Ang Ladlad” for recognition as a sectoral party under the partylist system.
which means basically...
Along with Commissioners Luencito Tagle and Elias Yusoph, Ferrer presided over a decision that declared homosexuality a state that offended religious morality, and announced it the Comelec’s duty “to protect the youth from moral and spiritual degradation.”
as she poignantly demonstrates...
Take out your children from Ateneo; Danton Remoto might turn them gay.
Pull out your subscription from the Inquirer; Manolo Quezon might kill their spirituality.
can you imagine telling our bffs
that they are:
dangerous to the youth:
that [they] deserve less than anyone else,
that they are the other, to be shunned and condemned, deserving of every discriminatory act they have fought against since they started stepping out of dark closets.
sad times, indeed...
