Express outrage against the COMELEC’s decision on Ang Ladlad’s application for party-list accreditation for the 2010 Elections!

Join us as we protest the grounds of “immorality” and being a “threat to the youth” on November 25, 2009 from 10:00 AM to 12 Noon at Plaza Roma, Intramuros.

(The date on the poster says November 20, but the rally is on the 25th)

From Ang Ladlad:

Dear Human Rights Defenders and Protectors a.k.a Friends,

The Motion for Reconsideration (MR) was filed today, Nov18 at the Comelec. We will wait for the Comelec’s decision to reconsider LADLAD’s accreditation to run for party list in the 2010 election. Comelec has the option to sit on this and let time pass until LADLAD, due to technicality, will not be able to register to run in the 2010 election because the Comelec has only a few days to finalize the list of party-list groups that would be included in the ballot. WE NEED TO PRESSURE THE COMELEC TO COME UP WITH A DECISION. JOIN US IN SAYING WE ARE NOT IMMORAL AND ARE NOT A THREAT TO THE YOUTH. JOIN US FIGHT FOR OUR LGBT RIGHTS! As Amnesty International would say, ALL HUMAN RIGHTS FOR ALL!! WHAT YOU CAN DO:

1. JOIN THE PROTEST ACTION ON WED. NOV 25, 2009
