Useless bills are again flooding the halls of the Lower House. One such measure is House Bill No. 2571 which seeks to amend Republic Act 8551, the Philippine National Police Reform and Reorganization Act of 1998, by adding the Lesbians, Gays, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) desk.
What in world possessed Laguna Rep. Sol Aragones to file this bill? She said that, "There can be no true and meaningful democracy if we continue to systematically oppress the LGBT sector."
Can you believe this? LGBTs are fighting for so-called freedoms, but they already have actual rights to this freedom, the ones listed in our 1987 Constitution. It is also the same set of human rights that every Filipino enjoys, gay or not.
What could actually happen is a possible downfall of equality and the rise of a privileged few. Not a privilege for everyone, but for those who consider themselves oppressed. The so-called minorities are searching for an exclusive place in society, and congresswoman Aragones is handing it over.
What the LGBT and their agenda-filled backers are really fighting for are "special" rights; those different from and above and beyond what anyone else has. Why should we change all of the rules for them?
Translation – do they deserve special treatment just because they don't like being a minority, not a minority in a legally “protected class” kind of way, because no one outside of the LGBT community and their supporters is worried about protecting this alleged minority, but minority as in they participate in activities and live a lifestyle that most people believe is immoral and unacceptable?
This latest LGBT drama isn't going to win a popularity contest, and online posters have already made that very clear.
In my opinion, if you are a LGBT by your own choice and of your own doing do not mean that you should get your own special lane in police stations around the country. You have to drive with everyone else who wants to use the expressway and follow the rules that have already been established as the best and safest for all involved whether you are gay, straight, alien, or animal. If you cause a ruckus, or spin your car out of control, you’re going to get a ticket for the violation.
Back to the topic, so just because they think they should have their own desk, but it was not provided to them on silver platter does that mean we are all mean and intolerant? Does being mean equates to discrimination against LGBTs?
Discrimination as we all know is like a legal buzzword or something. You can’t file a complaint saying that someone was mean to you, but you can if you put ‘discrimination’ on the paperwork. It seems like they are confused as to what discrimination actually means. It doesn’t mean that you can claim discrimination just because you don’t get your way, or you don't like the rules and are pouting on the sidelines crying for mama. Pouting and crying also does not equate to discrimination.
The definition of discrimination from websters.com states that:
Filipinos aren’t picking on any one individual. They are not excluding one person from reporting a crime to the police, in fact, they can all report crimes committed against them, it is just has to be like any other regular Joes or Janes.

The definition of discrimination from websters.com states that:
dis⋅crim⋅i⋅na⋅tion [di-skrim-uh-ney-shuhn] - is a treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit: racial and religious intolerance and discrimination.So this seems to indicate that electing not to let LGBT get their own desk like the children’s desk is not a discriminatory act. This means there is no compelling reason or justification to file House Bill No. 2571.
Filipinos aren’t picking on any one individual. They are not excluding one person from reporting a crime to the police, in fact, they can all report crimes committed against them, it is just has to be like any other regular Joes or Janes.
