The Student Council Alliance of the Philippines launches the "Stop the Hate! Campaign"hinged on the Students' Rights and Welfare Bill. The message is clear and hopefully the impact would be great knowing the fact that education is one of the key in removing social stigma and stereotyping. A lot of schools have dress code policies and LGBT individuals couldn't express themselves because transgenders are forced to dress up to wear clothing meant for their assigned biological sex and not with their gender identity. Aside from the dress codes, there are still bullying happening in different schools both physically and verbally which inhibits a student to perform at his/her best.
Hate should stop now. Hate should end in the educational institutions which are supposed to mold the students mentality in sexual orientation and gender identity and not mislead them to believing that homosexuality is a sin and a disorder.
