Unfortunately, many of our lawmakers and enforcers — like vasyerie –werent breastfed. (laki sa am – yung pinagkuluan ng sinaing).

My personal to Vasyerie — pls take time to realize that the Bible you hold so dearly is antiquated, outmoded and really needs updating. I mean, do you still believe that the earth is the center of the universe? And that eating shellfish is an abomination? And speaking of discrimination and bigotry, have you ever asked why your church doesnt allow women to be priests? (and dont answer that kasi they can be nuns naman…)

I am a Roman Catholic, but I find your views to be disgusting; trying to shroud your bigoted views in some form of perversion you call religious faith.

Ang batas ay para sa lahat: theists, atheists and anyone in between. You keep your religious views to yourself please. Parang may nakasaad sa Constitution regarding the separation of Church and State. I think you missed that part.

Look, I’m not gay or anything. In fact I’m a straight man who likes way too much female affection. But that doesn’t give me a right to legislate my preference as being the moral and righteous preference. The same thing that I’m against gambling, liquor, and impiety during holy week (O, san kayo nakakita ng saradong Catolicong hindi bigot) but I can’t legislate that preference and impose it on other people.

The question on whether to allow Ang Ladlad to participate in the elections is a legal question and not a moral one. I have my own opinions regarding sexuality and my GAY AND LESBIAN FRIENDS know that. They know on many issues I disagree with them. But on issues of law, we only have the law as our binding rule and not our faith. Remember that the constitution guarantees that no religious test is to be made for the exercise of civil and political rights. If I think the LGBTs are immoral because of my faith, we can’t use that test to prevent them from being voted upon.

I’m ashamed of those two Christian commissioners because they seemed to forget that Jesus preferred the company of prostitutes, tax collectors (actually they were more like loan sharks and slave traders during the Roman era), murderers, and pagans. Yes, nobody is born as such but Christ didn’t seem to have a problem with them.

I’m disappointed with Commissioner Yusoph who is an imam. His experience as a religious minority hailing from a region in the Philippines where his brothers and sisters in the faith are poorer than Filipinos elsewhere didn’t illuminate him in the hypocrisy of his decision. I guess he thought “phew, at least I’m not the ‘it’ on this occasion.”
