LADLAD is the political party of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Filipinos. Our members are either LGBT organizations or individuals, and/or our heterosexual supporters.
In Filipino, “magladlad” means to unfurl the cape that used to cover one’s body as a shield. It means to come out of the closet, to assert one’s human rights as equal to that of the next Filipino. Thus, it means to take one’s place in the sun, with dignity intact.
LADLAD is running for party-list elections for Congress in the May 2013 elections. Thus, it is bound to make history. It is the first political party composed of LGBT Filipinos that will claim— and reclaim— the rights we have lost from centuries of homophobia and discrimination.
The platforms of LADLAD are like laser beams— clear and focused only in one direction. We aim to restore our pride and dignity as LGBT Filipinos as well as give ourselves a chance to lead kinder and gentler lives.
The only way to shape history is to make it.
Be part of history.
MISSION
A society free from gender and sexuality-based oppression, prejudice, discrimination and stereotyping.
ORGANIZATIONAL VISION
Ladlad LGBT Partylist is an inclusive, sustainable, and responsive national LGBT organization that endeavors to consolidate, empower, strengthen and represent the LGBT community.
