It has been said before and repeated over and over again, but social justice warriors and their cohorts in the LGBT community thought that Filipino people will just roll-over and swallow their despicable advocacy.
President Rodrigo Duterte made it clear a few days ago, that he, like many other Filipinos, will tolerate the existence of LGBTs, but he draws the line with same-sex marriage because such a union is unacceptable to morally sane Filipinos.
"Kung ano ang makapaligaya sa isang tao o dalawang tao, kanila yan. But for the reason there is a law which says in the family code sa ating civil code, defining the relations of our society . . . marriage is always between a man and a woman," Duterte said at a press conference at Ninoy Aquino International Airport, an hour or so after he and a government entourage had arrived from official visits in Myanmar and Thailand.
"If I allow (same-sex marriage), I would have violated the law. Pero kung ako tanungin mo, kung ano ang makapaligaya sa’yo, gawin mo. Isang beses ka lang dumaan dito."
Duterte upset LGBT members when he said: "Kung saan ka pinuwesto ng Diyos, diyan ka lang. Huwag mong haluin kaming lahat. Biro mo, ako ang Presidente tapos wala ng — you erase the great divide between a woman and a man."
His recent pronouncements were definitely a condemnation of lesbians and gays, even he said he respects their preference.
"If it makes the gays happy, let them be. I do not condemn anybody there. What makes you happy, good. Just don’t violate the law, period," Duterte said.
