World Peace! Supreme Court rules: Ladlad Partylist can participate in May 2010 Elections
Barrio Siete congratulates Ang Ladlad Partylist and Danton Remoto! Haysstt! ‘To talagang Comolec na to, pasaway for initially declaring Ang Ladlad as immoral. In fact, I believe they should be the one who should be disqualified for acting like the Supreme Court.
But it’s World Peace na!
In a decision penned by SC Associate Justice Mariano del Castillo, the high court granted Ang Ladlad’s petition to stop the implementation of two Commission on Elections (Comelec) resolutions denying the group’s accreditation as a party-list group.
The decision said Ang Ladlad complied with the legal requirements for accreditation as a party-list group listed in Republic Act 7941, or the Party-list System Act.
“We are not blind to the fact that, through the years, homosexual conduct, and perhaps homosexuals themselves, have borne the brunt of societal disapproval. It is not difficult to imagine the reasons behind this censure – religious beliefs, convictions about the preservation of marriage, family, and procreation, even dislike or distrust of homosexuals themselves and their perceived lifestyle. Nonetheless, we recall that the Philippines has not seen fit to criminalize homosexual conduct,” the Court ruled.

Congratulations mga kapatid! Mabuhay! Vote LADLAD on May 10.
Nice naman. Buti naman at nasunganga ang comelec dyan.
May moral moral pa silang nalalaman. Akala mo kung sinong mga santo santita ang mga yan.
A person’s sexual orientation does not determine his or her morality in entirety.
even if the SC ruled to allow Ladlad in the coming may 2010 elections, it’s already too late…delaying tactics in its purest form…
AHAY!
