This is an example of people using their religious beliefs to persecute others, specifically the gay community.
Comelec Commissioners Nicodemo Ferrer, Elias Yusoph, and Lucenito Tagle rejected gay organization Ang Ladlad’s petition for partylist representation because they believe that homosexual practice “offends morals,” and homosexuality is “against Christian and Muslim faiths.”
They added, “Should this commission grant the petition, we will be exposing our youth to an environment that does not conform to the teachings of our faith.”
How brazenly offensive and idiotic. Gay people are not here to corrupt people and turn everyone else into homosexuals. Homosexuality is not a handicap or a threat. And how dare those commissioners consider gay people as lesser beings, undeserving of the same rights or representation as others. That’s immoral. They conveniently forget, or ignore, the fact that there are gay people in their ranks. They can’t deny that. Those bigots really should be impeached. They’re an embarrassment.
