Manila 6th District Representative Bienvenido Abante Jr. has filed a bill seeking to protect the rights of straight people, particularly in their religious expression.
MANILA, Philippines – The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community is not asking for any “special rights” with the sought passage of the SOGIE anti-discrimination bill, but only for the correction of the imbalance that has heterosexuals at an advantage, a gender expert said.
“Today, we have [LGBTQ+]…who are clamoring for ‘legislated rights’ and ‘state protection’ tailored for their specific kind and/or class, all in contravention to God’s law of creation and procreation and in utter defiance to His statutes and commandments, and the principles and standards of proper conduct and righteous living that He set for an orderly and morally upright society,” Abante wrote in his explanatory note.
“They’re asking for same rights we already have. And the only reason that they have to pursue a strategy of SOGIE, of carving it out, is because there isn’t equality in the first place. So, any attempt to protect sexual and gender minorities or LGBT individuals from discrimination is not extra rights. It is correcting an existing imbalance because the status quo de facto already protects heterosexuals,” said Parmanand.
