I was caught off-guard when I read a Boingboing post about a gay marriage in the Philippines. In a country where divorce is not yet legalized, where GLBTs are still generally frowned/laughed upon, and where traditional Catholic values are still predominant, this could’ve been a momentous cultural leap had it been sanctioned by the government or a major religious group. However, it turned out that the ceremony was performed within the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) — a minority rebel group (classified as terrorists by the U.S.) whose purpose is to overthrow the government and gain independence. Aside from maybe being sincere in their “progressive” thinking, sanctioning a gay marriage is another form of making a “statement” of their “independence.” I’d take that any day, than them making their statements through kidnappings, bombings, and endless warfare (at least the U.S. can forget about using the “gay bomb” on them). But I doubt that this will make a dent on the conservative mentality of Filipinos. And I don’t see gay people joining the CPP/NPA in droves just to enjoy the privileges of same-sex marriage. I’m not downplaying the issue of same-sex marriage, but I think that Filipinos (in general) have to be comfortable first with divorce, contraception, and sexuality before addressing same-sex marriage. Even The Simpsons gets the heat for treading on this issue.

…everybody has the right to show affection or the so called “love”…same sex marriage could only be possible for those people who could relate with it…and obviously not with the people who stick to the laws of morality……uhmmmmm…why not instead of finding place where there is a same sex marriage, look for a place where all of the family are composed of such…..im challenging you….
…good luck!

i have read a paper and saw a news two or three years ago about a Metropolitan Catholic Church in Manila where a priest has celebrated more than three or more marriages between couples of the same sex. I and my girlfriend are also planning to be blessed of the same marriage. Unforunately, i am from a province and I could not have enough information of how much it would cost us and what would be the requirements needed. Pls send us also information if u could get it.

Philippines, as a Christian nation, should NEVER make same-sex marriage legal!!!
Hi! I was just looking for some artiles about may research regarding same-sex marriage when I suddenly open this site. Well, it’s good to know that many of us are now becoming more like the western people, meaning becoming more liberated. It’s just pretty interesting that we are now learning to get out of the norms which the society set for everbody.
I’m glad there are a number of people who agree with the same sex marriage although the catolic church forbids this kind of union. I’m not a homosexual or whatever but I support the same-sex marriage issue ‘coz i believe there’s nothing wrong with it, I mean, no one’s harmed so I think there would be no problem about that. And besides, I think it’s time to shift from country conservatism to city lights. lol =)

god said that man is for woman. it is unethical to marry a man if you are in the same sex. if you are sure that the feeling you feel towards that person is love then go for it. unles and nevertheless that eeling is not LUST!!! but azs long as you can keep yourself away from temptation please do it. Lust will never give youy an eternal happiness!!
i am a woman and i know the feeling of being inlove. man is a rational being and we have the ability to think coorectly and we also have our conscience. i kow that woman will not be inlpove to lesbians if lesbians will not tempt nor show aaaaaany motive to woman. Girlzz be sensitive!! devils will always come to us in its very beautiful aura!!! ray to be aw ay in temptation!! just text me if you reaaly need advise about you status in opposite sex or in same sex.. 09072760818

hi there..un kai fr. mickley..that was true,kasi over 100 les and gay (according to what ive seen in web) ung kinasal nia sa lgbt community. Head Fr. Richard R. Mickley, O.S.Ae., Ph.D./
Address:13 Maginoo Street, Barangay Pinyahan, 1100 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines/
E-Mail saintaelred@gmail.com -heto poh baka makatulong..sana matuloy din kame ng hubby ko..
well, I was just curious…
are there possibilities of having same sex marriage in the country legal??
coolmel, for the most part, filipinos today are generally open to (the legalization of) divorce, use contraception, and are more expressive of their sexuality. it’s just that our laws are never amended, because our lawmakers are pussies when they are up against the church.
case in point: the non-passage of the reproductive health bill DESPITE widespread support from almost all sectors of philippine society.
and to answer most of the questions posted above, until and unless the family code is amended, marriage in the philippines would remain strictly “a special contract of permanent union between a man and a woman.” (article 1, family code)
hi, im just wondering if what place in baguio? would u mind let me know. thank you!

hi! good day..
I am a second year student of a certain university.. I just want to know if there is a possibility that same sex marriage will be granted by the our government in a sense that we are a Catholic country? We have a debate with regards to the legalization of same sex marriage.. can you help us defend the rights of the “LGBT” and legalize their marriage?
we’re looking forward to receiving your response.
