WATCH: Miss Universe queens Pia Wurtzbach at Catriona Gray, nanawagang ipaglaban ang LGBTQ+ rights
Nanawagan ang Miss Universe queens na sina Pia Wurtzbach at Catriona Gray na isulong ang LGBTQ+ rights pagkatapos ang nangyari kay Gretchen Diaz na pinagbawalang gumamit ng pambabaeng cr at pinosasan.
Hindi man direktang binanggit ni Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach si Gretchen, nagbahagi naman siya ng isang imahe ng isang "genderbread" person.
Aniya sa Instagram, "Did you hear about what happened? Me too!
"We have different ways to promote our causes and support the LGBTQIA+ community. Some through advocating for policy, some for demand generation and some for awareness.
"No action is too small!
"Every effort creates ripples of positive change that we need to finally stop stigma and discrimination (both external and within the community itself)."
Panawagan naman ni Catriona Gray, ipasa na ang Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression Equality Bill (SOGIE) na naglalayang protektahan laban sa diskriminasyon ng LGBTQIA+ community na isinulong ni Sen. Rissa Hontiveros.
Bahagi niya, "LGBTQ+ rights are HUMAN rights - mga karapatang pangkaligtasan at kalayaan mula sa diskriminasyon, karahasan at pagmamalupit batay sa pagkakakilanlan.
"The incident happened in a city that has an existing anti-discrimination bill. Ibig sabihin, walang saysay ang isang bill na hindi maipatupad sa isang komunidad.
"Ang LGBTQ+ ay nakikipaglaban para sa kanilang mga karapatan - ang karapatan sa kaligtasan, proteksyon at pagkakapantay-pantay - ay laban din natin. #SOGIEEqualityNow"
