On April 21, 2012 Filipino lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT), will join the Worldwide LGBT Civil Rights March(i) to
Demand for EQUAL RIGHTS and RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS of ALL PEOPLE Regardless of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI)!
The Philippines LGBT Civil Rights March is a call to action to:
• Remind us of the need to address the grave human rights violations against LGBT Filipinos; that victims of these violations must be given justice and that perpetrators must be arrested and punished.
• Respect the sexual and reproductive health and rights of all people regardless of SOGI by the passage of the Reproductive Health bill – House Bill 4244 and Senate bill 2865
• Safeguard the retention of SOGI provisions of Senate Bill 2814. The bill, “the Anti-Ethnic, Racial or Religious Discrimination and Profiling Act,” which aims to penalize all forms of discrimination, has passed third reading in the Senate and is close to being finalized in Congress. The LGBT community is gravely concerned that anti-LGBT forces led by the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) will succeed in removing the SOGI provisions of SB 2814.
• Demand the inclusion of SOGI in the ASEAN Declaration of Human Rights, which is being finalized and will be presented in the ASEAN Plus Summit in November 2012 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
It is hoped that the April 21 Worldwide LGBT Civil Rights March will impress upon our legislators the urgent need to pass the anti-discrimination law to include the protection of LGBT rights. This will be helped greatly by a large show of numbers of the LGBT community and its supporters this coming Saturday.
It is time to make a stand for the civil and political rights if LGBT persons in the Philippines so April 21, 2012 will be a celebration of LGBT rights and a testament to our continued fight for equal rights.

Initiated by American author and advocate Joseph C. Knudson a few months ago, this grassroots movement will unite various LGBT activists, organizations, and all other allies on April 21, 2012 in a historic event that will project to the worldwide community the LGBT demand for FULL CIVIL RIGHTS NOW.

Dumaguete Pride March Year 1
------
BASIC INFORMATION:
...
REGISTRATION AND ASSEMBLY: 3:00-3:45PM, 9 December 2011
PARADE START-OFF TIME: 4:00PM
ROUTE: Quezon Park -> Colon St. -> Real St. -> Silliman Ave. -> Perdices St. -> Quezon Park
MATERIALS TO BRING (optional):
-Groups are encouraged to bring materials on HIV/AIDS, LGBT Rights, and the like.
-Placards on HIV/AIDS awareness, LGBT Rights awareness (Please try to keep printed messages as 'love-filled' as possible. Love, after all, is the ultimate retaliation to hate and discrimination.)
* Please DO NOT bring RH Bill materials. As much as this is also our advocacy, this Parade is being funded by the City Government. We will organise another venue for RH Bill advocacy, should this be your advocacy too.
-Rainbow flags/flaglets
CLOTHING: From statement shirts to costumes with wings and scepters...it doesn't matter, really. Be loud and proud!
PARADE MARSHAL TO CONTACT FOR MORE INFORMATION: 09269626715 (Michael Victor Panuncillon)
------
PARADE INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW:
The Dumaguete Pride Parade is not a standalone parade. The City Health Office has allowed for a Pride Space in the City's annual World AIDS Day Awareness Walk. This has been negotiated with the City Health Office by Ladlad Negros Oriental Coordinator, Michael Panuncillon.
It is a wonderful start for Dumaguete's LGBTs to take to the streets and show WE ARE HERE AND WE WILL NEVER DISAPPEAR. Although the entire Parade is not exclusively ours, our visibility in the Parade will force the City Government and fellow Dumaguetenos to be confronted by our existence. Our visibility and our demands for equal rights and protection will hopefully surface the prejudice and discrimination we have all experienced. The Pride Parade will hopefully provide a venue for us to formally and informally negotiate Safe Spaces for us in the community and, perhaps, lead to negotiations on a City Ordinance on Anti-Discrimination based on SOGI.
Invite your straight allies (friends and families) to march with us on December 9! It takes courage to come out. It takes even greater courage to take our cause to the streets. We have lived with discrimination and prejudice in silence for too long. Courage is what it takes to start a revolution. Our first Pride Parade will be the start of bigger and grander Prides to come in Dumaguete.
Lesbian writer and activist Rita Mae Brown once declared in a speech, "No government has the right to tell its citizens when or whom to love. The only queer people are those who do not love anybody."

2010 Pride March Philippines
The 2010 LGBT Pride March will be observed in the light of HIV AIDS World Awareness Day. The theme "One Love: Stop AIDS, Promote LGBT Human Rights, Keep the Promise" acknowledges the LGBT Community's proactive role in advocating HIV AIDS awareness.
The Manila Pride March gathers LGBT groups and individuals once a year to promote solidarity within and outside the community. It creates a safe space where LGBTs and their supporters can raise pressing issues. By tradition, Manila Pride March coincides with Human Rights week, to affirm the specific rights claims of the LGBT community.
This year’s theme, “One Love”, pushes for unity. The diversity of the LGBT community is apparent, but this diversity comes at the price of political differences as well. However, this year’s March encourages everyone to view those differences as celebratory instead of damaging; that those differences are merely proof of the community’s dynamism. “One Love” also looks at how it is still possible to see points of convergence and collaboration despite differences.
