As we were savoring the last few hours of the work-free holiday season (in typical NGO fashion, i tuned out of work mode after december 19th as best as i could), Lala and i saw this poster (see photos) in at least 2 street posts in Katipunan Avenue corner Santolan.
This poster was definitely a rude welcome to 2010. Nothing jerks one from vacation mode as quickly as a poster that has the words “lesbian”, “gay”, “satan”, and “hell” all in one sentence and all within a stone’s throw away from the house i grew up in.
A ridiculous gay hate poster on a wall
Like the haters during the pride march, this poster must energize us and remind us that we have our work cut out for us in the months to come. Bigotry and religious fundamentalisms were alive and kicking even during the season of giving. To fellow believers in and advocates of human rights, let us stay focused and relentless in working for LGBT rights. The haters are getting bolder and ever closer to home.
I am certainly no satan worshipper! And please pray for me for other things… like I win the lottery so I can use all my money to stop gay hate crimes. GEEZ!
