Greetings everyone!
I am Yffar Aquino, current Membership Head of the 2009 Task Force Pride Philippines, an ever-evolving member and community-based organization of volunteers and the organizer of the annual Manila Pride March in the country.
This Bulletin is to inform you, since you may not be aware of it, that the Philippines is ALSO celebrating the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) Parade. And for this year, it will be on DECEMBER 5, 2009, SATURDAY and the tentative venue will be at MALATE, MANILA (exact venue will be announced). And we are proud to announce that this year will be the 15th YEAR of this glorious event.
For the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender people who can read this message, please join us and celebrate the DIVERSITY and COLOR of the LGBT Pride in our country as we fight and push for the Anti-Discrimination Law that will be our shield from the Homophobia and other hate related violence.
We are accepting international delegates to march with us. For the foreign people who lives outside our country, you are also invited to participate in this grand celebration. We will be more than happy to have you.
If you are not yet out but still wants to be a part of the Pride March for this year, you can wear masks to cover your face and we will ensure the safety of your identity.
Even straight people can join as long as you believe in equal rights regardless of gender preferences or you are doing this because you LOVE and SUPPORT your LGBT friends and relatives.
In short, EVERYONE IS INVITED.
So Spread the word. Tell your family and friends. Be Proud. March to the upcoming Manila Pride March 2009.
