The NoH8 Project on Tumblr

March 20th, 2009

I started noticing a lot of people posting their NoH8 photos on Tumblr

earlier today.  So what I did was to reblog all NoH8 photos I saw on Tumblr.  And I did that through the new Tumblr blog I created: The NoH8 Project on Tumblr.

And boy are Tumblrs fast!  The blog now has a total of 37 Tumblr followers and we have been receiving quite a number of contributions.  Thank you!

And even though I am not from California (I’m not even in the United States – I’m in the Philippines, and I’m not even American!), I believe in this campaign.  I have been following news and updates about Prop8 for as long as I can remember.  I believe in a cause like this.  I believe that no matter where you are in the world, no matter what race, color, religion, or sexual orientation you have, hate (H8) is never a good thing.

The predominantly Catholic nation of the Philippines is still worlds away from gay marriage or marriage equality, but it does not mean that the LGBT Community and our friends here do not have something to fight for. Believe it or not, we still do not have laws that protect the basic rights of members of the LGBT community.

What we are fighting for now is the enactment of the Anti-Discrimination Bill, which has been a bill for almost a decade now.  I believe that a campaign similar to NoH8 can be done here and I really hope we can do something to further our cause and our call for EQUAL (not special) rights.

So to all those who followed the NoH8 Tumblr Project and those who have contributed, Thank you!

Brad Pitt on Gay Marriage

January 8th, 2009

Brad Pitt for W Magazine

“People who are against gay marriage do not understand the very freedoms that they themselves are enjoying,” he argues. “What if someone said, ‘Sorry, no Christianity here? No Judaism. Certainly no Mormons.’ No one would stand for that, and I wouldn’t allow anyone to say that either. I’d fight them in the same way.” – Brad Pitt on W Magazine

Brad Pitt FTW! If you didn’t know, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie contributed $100,000 last year to California’s “No on Prop 8” campaign.  Not only that, he says that they will not get married until marriage rights are available to all. Go Brangelina!
