Comelec says gay party ‘immoral’
Comelec have just disqualified LADLAD on the grounds that gay party are immoral. It’s the same shit. Gays are immoral. The first thing that came into my mind was, who is Comelec to tell us, we gays are immoral? We’re half-human? Can’t think straight? Dumb? Stupid? What? Worse members of the society? Lepers of the island? Ano? Because calling us immoral hinges on something that Comelec has a set of morally acceptable standards to the civilized world.
Wow! I’d like to know! Can you hear me Garci? I said, I like to know!
I am Catholic and I kneel. Yeah I do! But selectively. Ok, maybe on and of practicing and of course, in my religion, homosexuality is a hideous sin. Fine, just a fking sin. But I suspect church hands on this and its almost equivalent to legislating some Christian values or acceptable church standards. For who is Comelec to define what’s moral and what’s not immoral when they could not even distinguish a prank call to a telemarketing of 1 million votes call.
I’d like to believe that we are a free society but I also believe that there are so many hands in our government that Comelec is now functioning ala-Supreme Court. What’s next for Comelec? Broadway?
Gays and the Comelec, we are like blind leading the blind for if we are immoral, they are so fkng misguided.

Grrrrr! That’s all I have to say!
unfair, discriminatory and promoting hatred ang Comelec. mga baliw and twisted talaga.
gay immoral? pero ang mga straight at Corrupt hindi immoral? ang sagot dyan…..hindi ang tao ang mag huhusga, Dyos lang ang nakaka-alam!
jurassic comelec minds annie.
LOL.
Ayan na naman ang mga pretentious righteousness God wannabe’s na yan. Who are they to say that these people are immoral? Sila ba ang diyos para magsabi nyan?
Ayaw ko ang ugali na ang hilig mangdiscriminate ng tao based on their sexual orientation, race, gender etc. Akala mo kung sinong mga anak ng diyos kuno pero wag ka, daming skeletons in the closet ng mga leche na yan.
Siguraduhin lang nila na pag sila pupukol ng bato sa kapwa nila, wala silang bahid ng kasalanan sa lupa na itetch. Ika nga: Let the one without sin cast the first stone.
gaya nga nang sinabi ni lani sa baba, eh mas immoral pa yong million votes na hello garci a!
isa po akong mambabasa ng B7 pero di ko po mapigilan na di mag-react sa post na ito. di ko alam kung maaawa ako sa Comelec o maiinis…masyado namang nagmamalinis ang ahensiya na ito ng gobyerno.
QLET,
welcome sa barrio. yes, na shock ako sa reasoning nang Comelec kung bakit na-disqualify. masyadong discriminatory.
QLET,
Salamat sa pagdayo dito sa aming barrio. Enjoy your stay here.
Bakit di nila sabihan na imoral din si Gloria dahil sa pagtawag sa telepono at pagsabi kay Garci “yung dagdag, yung dagdag”. Pati ba sexual preference ng third sex dapat nilang pakialaman. Nakita ko kasi sa tv iyong comelec commissioner na immoral daw ang ladlad dahil they encourage same sex relationship. Tama ba iyon?
retarded yong commissioner lani. ano ang pakialam nang same sex or sexual preferences sa partylist? na deretso lang ang marunong gumawa nang laws? at mag legislate?
i hope i-kaso sila nang LADLAD, bitbitin sa Supreme Court at leche, tingnan naten kung uubra ang drama nang Comelec

Congratulations COMELEC! But eating shellfish is also an abomination…
My dear Commission on Elections (COMELEC) of the Philippines,
I wish to congratulate you for doing such an act of pure love and piousness when you upheld God’s Law in your decision regarding the petition of Ang Ladlad LGBT Political Party. Invoking Romans 1:26-27 was a brilliant idea! I feel so blessed that you guys are doing the job that the Constitution of the Philippines mandated you to do. And I feel so relieved that you guys are there to save my soul from being infected by the presence of a lesbian,gay, bisexual, and transgender political party in the 2010 elections.
I try to share the wisdom of your decision with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.
I’m really convinced that you are very right. You know, just like you, I take the Bible seriously in a very literal way because the Bible is the word of God and God is definitely very clear in whatever He’s saying. However, I do need some advice from you regarding some God’s command in the Bible. I will deeply appreciate if you tell me how to best follow them:
a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exo. 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her? How much did you sell your daughters for? I’m really, really curious.
c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense. Do you allow your female staff in COMELEC to work during their menstrual period?
d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this doesn’t apply to us, that only Chinese people can have us as slaves and not the other way around. Can you clarify? Why can’t I have a Chinese for a slave?
e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exo. 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself? Oh, am I allowed to kill President Arroyo when she works during the Sabbath? And, YES, am I allowed to kill you if I caught you working during the Sabbath?
f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this? I know a lot of our political candidates eat selfish! O No! Please the 2010 Elections can’t be infested by them!
g) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. A lot of political candidates are wearing glasses, a lot of our former Presidents wore glasses. Are they immoral too?
h) Most of our male political candidates get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27. Can we tolerate such immorality among our political candidates?
i) I know a political candidate who has a farm. I think he violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev.24:10-16) Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev.20:14)
j) A lot of Filipinas work as domestic helpers in other countries. A lot of them are beaten by their employers. Should I condemn their employers or should we just allow them to be beaten up as long as they can get up after a day or two as what Exo. 21:20-21 wants us to do: “If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.”
k) Erap Estrada seems intent to run again as President. I just wonder whether you’ll approve his candidacy, specially that he is a well-known adulterer. The Bible said the punishment is death, why is he still alive? Is there something fishy going on?
l) Deut. 23:20 said that we shall not demand interest from our countrymen on a loan of money. Are our banks immoral? How should they be punished?
I know you guys have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. I still have many questions but that’s all for now. Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging.
Faithfully yours,
Juan de la Cruz
katawa kasi itsura ni remoto, parang desperadang luging bading. pero di ibig sabihin bading k, imoral k n. nasa gawain yun!
Immoral kaya diskwalipayb??????? That’s outrageous! At kelan pa nagkaron ng authority ang gobyerno to declare what is moral and what is immoral? Whatever happened to the separation of church and state? This is the dumbest decision and reason that I have ever read in a loooooooongggg time.

An sabi nang mga baliw sa Comelec division headed by Commissioner Nicodemo Ferrer, with Commissioners Elias Yusoph and Lucenito Tagle as members tapos cited pa nila ang teachings of Lehman Strauss, an American Bible teacher, na para bang cut & paste is that:
Ang Ladlad were a threat to young Filipinos.
“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,” the resolution said.
EXPOSING.
Ang laman nang TV are mostly gay stuff. Ano pa ba.
Isara lahat nang parlor, comedy bars at ikulong sina Rajo Laurel, Pitoy Moreno, Lino Brocka, Ishmael Bernal, Tomas Morato, at ilan pang mahuhusay na bakla na nagdala ng karangalan sa ating bansa dahil mga immoral ang mga yon.
Pati yong co-anchor ni Kris Aquino kaladkarin na rin at immoral din.
That’s how I read Comelec’s ruling. Akala mo kung sinong nagmamalinis.
Noynoy comes from a family and tradition that is really close to the Catholic Church — an institution that viciously defends its position that homosexuality is immoral. So much for your “prayerful” candidate.
If you want a modern secular state that is OPEN-MINDED and applies an inclusive attitude to people who today are deemed as deviants (such as homosexuals). It will take GENERATIONS to undo this stigma against gay people that the Church had ingrained into Philippine society and in its government agencies (as is evident in the way the COMELEC is behaving).
You need to get it through politicians’ heads that the Church is a powerful force for primitivism. Its dogma pushes for exclusion of people on the basis of their sexual orientation, its meddling in government initiatives to improve reproductive health are resulting in untold suffering for many women and children, and its coddling of poverty and reassurances that poor people are “victims” is stifling develpment of an ethic of self-reliance among Pinoys.
Noynoy was not the Comelec who handed the retarded position. Is he? Its that simple, really. The issue here is the misguided ruling of the comelec. It promotes hatred.
Your convincing power ain’t working Benigno. Especially negative tricks.
Yeah, but what is the ultimate origin of such bigotry being exhibited by the Comelec? Where does their definition of “morality” come from?
That’s the common denominator here.
If you think Noynoy is the sort of man who will stand up for secularism instead of being a yesman to the Catholic Church, think again. He is gonna be up against a strong tradition of that “prayerfulness” which characterises his family and circle of cronies.
hahaha convince me more benigno, like who is your candidate who will not push hatred amongst gays? aber? ILADLAD benigno, iladlad.
I’m sure you will find most of these candidates kissing serious clergy arse throughout their campaign. And kissing clergy arse means not saying anything that antagonises Catholic dogma.
Catch my drift?
i know that already even without a benigno in terms of church hands and power over political drifts kaya nga i am not surprised why even the simple condom is such a big issue what more about gays issues? no one in the political arena wants to be excomunicado right? at least we’ve got something that we can agree on. should i expect noynoy to convince the church about my beliefs in terms of gay rights? i don’t think so – but i’m still for him.
Given the Comelec’s actions, it would be interesting to find out what all the candidates have to say about same sex marriage or same sex civil unions.
answer? no one in politics wants to be excomunicado. gays are the new blacks.
well so much for the essence of democracy. pathetic.
hehehe lumalabas masyado ang kulay mo BongV
reynz:
i am pro-bongV
having said that, i was expecting a candidate to react to the comelec and say “that’s not the essence of democracy”, gays are people, and the Catholic church does not have a monopoly of morality. that would have been rad!
so there….
Immoral? OMG! I’m so furious, disappointed and hurt. Leche!
Wow. Parang Cavite State University lang. Ay, ano ba yan. nanira pa ko ng sarili kong eskwelahan. LOL.
Nanliligaw pa kasi sa mga ipokritong relihiyoso, Reynz. Lam mo na… dagdag votes rin yun.
this is a repost since nagloloko ang comments plugin.
i just want to point out that gay rights is one of those issues our candidates should take a stand on.
this is a perfect example of a situation where voters can benefit from seeing the candidates’ platforms.
am wondering what noynoy’s stand on this.
and i was hoping to make barrio7 a political party! haha…kelangan nating mangumpisal (ahem, not me personally…occasional lang ang bistida ko).
kelangan pala imbistigahan ang lahat ng mga politiko, lalo na’t artista at comelec staff, kung sino talaga ang tunay na lalakwe sa kanila. so paano kaya nila malalaman? kung sino ang nag-ahit ng kilikili ay bakla?
wait, may power ba talaga ang comelec pagdating sa democratic process na ito. hindi lang ito discrimanation, kundi libel at immoral pa!
BRILLIANT! hahaha come to think of it! Baka this year, andaming magpakasal hahaha I already know na merong isang Senatoriable, dapat idisqualify sya

Mataray na sagot naman ni Commissioner Nicodemo Ferrer:
Ang isyu is Ladlad’s disqualification, not Noynoy’s stand on gay rights. Anuvayan! Lumalabas tuloy na……oh nevermind. Bwahahaha
sino? si benigno and bongv? they have 1 track of mind. anti-noynoy. like what benigno said, he’s not getting the drift. hehehe
Grrr, where is equality?
Sabi nga ni Shirley Chrisholm….
“In the end antiblack, antifemale, and all forms of discrimination are equivalent to the same thing – antihumanism”
Constitution, how do I violate thee? Let me count the ways…:
Article II, Section 6: The separation of Church and State shall be inviolable.
Article II, Section 11: The State values the dignity of every human person and guarantees full respect for human rights.
Article II, Section 26: The State shall guarantee equal access to opportunities for public service.
Article III, Section 5: No religious test shall be required for the exercise of civil or political rights.
Article XIII, Sec 16: The right of the people and their organizations to effective and reasonable participation at all levels of social, political, and economic decision-making shall not be abridged.
