Swak pa rin ang entry ko today. Comedy sya. Laughable talaga. Ang Comelec, morality na sya.
Oo. Comelec has just disqualified LADLAD Party as immoral. Which to me, gulo ako when Comelec became the moral knight, saviour of the world, defender of equality, of all human kind. Meron ata silang code of morals na di pa sini-share at sila lang ang nakaka-alam. Hmm… Naisulat ko na ang pag-ka imbierna ko sa mga we are the morally right telemarketers of the world. Im fak, they can deliver 1 million votes if they wanted to. Alam mo yon?
“The LGBT, denied insurance premiums and asked by bosses to stay in closets, are told they are a danger to society. 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. Shut off your television, stay away from the beauty parlors, watch out for those high heels. Not only will the state permit discrimination, it will applaud it in the name of God and country. So they quote scripture and verse with fundamentalist vigor from a religion that has itself evolved since the day 2,000 years ago when a 30-year-old storyteller was hung on a cross between thieves. Theirs is a selective morality—blame God for your bigotry when possible; ignore the rest. Their democracy is one of convenience, free only when it agrees with their narrow-minded vision. It is fine to quote Romans about homosexuality, “men with men working that which is unseemly” but I did not hear government agencies thundering the seventh commandment when Joseph Estrada ran for office after gleefully admitting his string of istresses. (Source: Patricia Evangelista)”
Anyway, walang masyadong reaction sa media world. Ganito pag mga gay issues. Salya lang sya. Under the rug baga. We’re the least form of human beings sa mga iba dyan. Which I’m glad to hear that several organizations rallied behind Ang Ladlad, like Akbayan Rep. Risa Hontiveros who also believes na discriminatory to.
