Additional Public Toilets for LGBTs?
Posted by rockerfem | Filed under LGBT issues, Politics, discrimination
I stumbled upon this article from GMA News Tv about having additional public toilets exclusively for the use of LGBTs. Leo Martinez’s party list group, Alyansa ng Media at Showbiz Inc, pushes that gays and lesbians should have their own toilets with labels “gay male” and “gay female” on it because they experience discrimination whenever they use the usual male and female toilets.

Why Spread LGBT Hatred?
Posted by rockerfem | Filed under Anti-LGBT, LGBT issues, Politics, discrimination
The fight is not over. We LGBTs all around the world, especially in the Philippines, definitely still needs an Anti-Discrimination Bill that will protect our rights. It is not enough that there is tolerance. It is not our “utang na loob” if you just tolerate our existence. It’s like being blind without really knowing why we are doing this.
Ang Ladlad partylist was denied to run as such because of immorality. The Commission on Elections allowed plunderers, corrupt individuals and liars to run. Now where is justice there? Where is democracy? Why not let the people decide?
Even Jesus does not discriminate.
Below is a repost from a fellow LGBT advocate, Anne Lim of Galang:

Golden Gaytime in Melbourne!
Posted by rockerfem | Filed under personal
I was looking for something that would be associated to the LGBT community while I was in Melbourne last November. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find people and instead found this delicacy at the local grocery.
My colleagues in South Melbourne told me about this ice cream and recommended that I should try this Australian favorite. I thought that if I ate this, will I have a very golden gay time? Well I did because it was delicious .

Transphobia in Pinoy Big Brother Double Up
Posted by rockerfem | Filed under Anti-LGBT, LGBT issues, discrimination, mass media
Whenever I have the time, I watch Pinoy Big Brother Double Up because of Rica Paras. It’s like whenever I watch PBB, I feel a certain connection with her because she’s one one us (LGBT) and it just felt so good to see someone like her in Philippine mass media. I always became curious on how her housemates will treat her when they knew that she’s a transgender. It’s a given, probably, because of the kind of society we have right now.
I don’t believe that there are issues of her being incapable of working in a team. In fact, she has shown her leadership in some of the tasks and putting her in a bad light because she is a transgender is very wrong. Read the rest of this entry »
