MY CONDOLENCES & PRAYERS TO PROF. DANTON REMOTO & FAMILY

I regret to announce that the father of Prof. Danton Remoto, chairman of Ang Ladlad, the national organization of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender Filipinos, has already been laid to rest by God. He peacefully passed away at 12:00 a.m., oct 18, 2009.

In behalf of the LGBT community in the Philippines and the officers and members of Ang Ladlad Partylist, I would like to extend my sincerest condolences to the Remoto family.

May God give them the strength they need.

His remains lie in state at St Ignatius Chapel mortuary, Camp Aguinaldo.

Salamat.

Discrimination (Again) at Aruba Bar: BB Gandanghari Refused Entry

Aruba Bar in Metrowalk has done it again. This bar, which reeks of discrimination, has continually refused entry to transgenders via a sign at the entrance: No Cross-Dressing. BB Gandanghari went to Aruba Bar & Restaurant because she wanted to watch her friend Rannie Raymundo’s show. But she and her friends were denied entry because they were cross-dressing.
