ONE LOVE, ONE CALL, HUMAN RIGHTS FOR ALL
Support the Anti-Discrimination Act of 2010 (House Bill 1483)

Discriminationary acts against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) citizens in the Philippines are rampant yet are largely unreported and not provided corrective measures. Gay men are constantly harassed by police officers, transgendered women are not allowed to use their preffered gender on identity papers, and lesbians are paid lower wages. These are the result of the lack of protective laws that can punish discrimination and allow the courts and government agencies to receive complaints.

We are asking you to support our campaign ONE LOVE, ONE CALL, HUMAN RIGHTS FOR ALL! to help us make the Philippines a welcoming country for our lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) countrymen.
