Had the cynics prevailed, there would be no Pride events this year. READ:
This year’s Pride events in the Philippines come at a most challenging time: A new Marcos is set to become president while the outgoing leader presides over a period of escalating prices of petroleum and basic goods. Several activist and media websites have been ordered taken down, while dozens of farmers and advocates have been arrested, detained and charged.
This is good for the country. It means that for the LGBTs of this country, they see that the fight for change continues despite a terrible election outcome. For many, the fight continues more so because of the terrible election outcome. This is positive to the country because it is both a learning and teaching moment for all Filipinos, whether LGBTs or non-LGBTs. Together, we learn more about the plight and aspirations of many Filipinos who continue to be denied of the full benefits of citizenship. Together, we teach one another that we must continue to press on with a just cause especially in the worst of times.
The fight for diversity, fairness and equality is one thing that unites millions in our hyperpartisan world. We may have picked different candidates in pageants or in elections, but we share a common cause of crowning each Filipino with the same set of rights and privileges guaranteed by the Constitution. We may be different as Filipinos due to class, region, language, or creed, but everyone must be equal in law. This is not just a belief of the LGBTs. This is provided for by the Constitution.
