		<description>I’m a gay and I have a partner which is like me. We’re both Filipino. We’ve been together for 10 years. Since same sex marriage is not allowed in our country, we got maried in Denmark. We live there for 3years and now we went here in the Philippines. So sad, same sex marriage is still not allowed here. The discrimination is still gong on.</description>

		<description>I guess everyone should read his/her own bible so you could understand what the Congressman is talking and fighting about.

The bible clearly states:
&quot;Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.&quot; I Cor 6:9-10

Habang maaga pa po, mag-repent na po kayo. Don&#039;t wait until the time comes na lumalangoy na kayo sa dagat-dagatang naglalagablag na apoy at asupre.

Hope God will enlighten you.</description>

		<description>what i know is this...
the more open society is for a certain culture, the more evident this culture is propogated...

parang sa mga kurso lang yan e...
dati uso na mag-engineer... so maraming nage-engineer...
tapos nauso mag-nursing... so maraming nagnursing (pati doktor)...

so ngayon na mas open na ang philippine society sa gay lifestyle...
parang nanganganak na tayo...
however, it doesn&#039;t mean na lahat ay bakla o tomboy na...
kasi ang linya na ngayon natin ay &quot;umamin ka, bakla/tomboy ka no?&quot;
kaya dahil sa LABELING na ito, lalo na sa mga taong walang conviction sa sarili lalo na mga kabataan... tinatanggap na niya ang bansag na ito at pamumuhay bakla/tomboy, kahit sa puso niya ay hindi naman niya gusto maging bakla o tomboy...

kaya hindi ako naniniwala sa mga survey at statistics na ito...
isang propoganda campaign lamang ito na palabasin na marami nang umaamin (or should i say &quot;pinapaamin&quot;) na bakla/tomboy sa mga pilipino...

sad but true... we are manipulative in many ways...</description>

		<description>Talking about ignorance, most of us out there who are Roman Catholic - do we really know what the Catholic Church teaches about homosexuality?  Have we seen the compassion that the Catechism has for us?  Or are we blinded by what gay activism has told us so?

Here&#039;s what Catholic teaching really teaches...
“The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God&#039;s will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord&#039;s Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2358)

So mahal po tayo ng Simbahan. The Church loves the person, but hates the sin that he or she does. And we have to make a CLEAR DISTINCTION on that... otherwise, WE ARE JUDGING THE CHURCH...

Here is what the Church wants us to do... a higher calling, a tough vocation, but can you argue that it is something not born out of love?
“Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2359)

PLEASE do not be blinded by what popular media says or what gay activists say...
GOD LOVES US!
THE CHURCH LOVES US!
People may find it difficult, but they are all ready to love us!
(not for what we DO, but for what we ARE)
make a distinction between the PERSON and the BEHAVIOR...

talk about being OPEN-MINDED... are we really REALLY?</description>
