"The truth is, the "Marxist mold" and the politics behind the LGBT movement are irrelevant to me when I can't hold hands with my partner in public. To me, it is hardly political, it is personal. When children are bullied because of how they express their sexuality, it doesn't matter to them what disorders are on the list of the American Psychiatric Association. To these children, it is hardly political, it is personal. When lesbians are raped to cure them of their "disease," they don't care much about how homosexual activists gain public sympathy. To these lesbians, it is hardly political, it is personal."

Living in the Philippines with so many rallies and protests done everyday, there are times when I feel like I have grown tired of them. I know I will earn the ire of activists for that statement but I can not lie. Sometimes, I am tired of it. That tired attitude towards protests does not exclude the LGBT. But many times too, this feeling is forced out of me, sadly because I begin to feel indignant again.This happens when I hear comments and mockery from my own family and relatives and friends on gay people (like me). Those moments spark anger in me, anger against the people I love. But they are still the people I love and I can not stay angry at them for long. Eventually, I calm down. When anger have subsided, that's when sadness refills me. The end emotion is always sadness for knowing I can be rejected by the very people I love. How could people say that LGBT is rallying solely for political reasons? Aren't political advocacy sparked by personal experiences and feelings? The rallies for those who are starving, for those killed under dictatorship, for those abused and raped-- those rallies or fights or protests formed because the victims felt they were being taken advantaged off, maltreated or received injustice. The LGBT people are not aliens. We are also people who feels discriminated, mocked and hurt by others in society. We are also enraged about what happens to us. For that, we're fighting. And we're bringing it to political level so the many will hear what we need to stop and change. The fight isn't for political reasons. The fight is for every gay and lesbian individual to be recognized by every society and state as someone with dignity and someone who has a right to build a family.

"Comment #9:
“I oppose certain moves in granting homosexuals sweeping “rights” which should be rightly reserved for heterosexuals like marriage or adoption.”
My response: There are no rights that are “rightly reserved for heterosexuals” as this is clear violation of Article 2 of the universal declaration of human rights.
“Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status”

Why can't I get married to the person I love? Why do you have to force me to marry a man that I do not love? What if I turn this whole thing around and I'm the one who keeps you from being with the person you love? Why can't I adopt a child? Do you have studies/researches that proves that children raised by a gay couple makes him/her incapable of participating in society?Isn't that these children only react negatively when they are teased, maltreated or abused by their classmates or teachers (who are individuals raised by heterosexual couples)? Why the need to deprive us the right to build our own family with the person we love?
Tell me,
what makes gays and lesbians so unacceptable or disgusting to you???
Just because we love a person in the same sex,
isn't it?
