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)."

Did you hear about what happened? Me too! So here, please meet the GingerBread Person ❤️ . We have different ways to promote our causes and support the 🌈 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), Hopefully through this post I can educate someone and reach those who need to understand the concept of Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Sexual Characteristics (Expression). Read on and please share away: link is also on my bio https://www.genderbread.org/resource/genderbread-person-v4-0-poster

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"

Last night's incident involving a transgender woman being prohibited from using the womans washroom and resulting in being escorted off premises in handcuffs by local police only highlights further, the Philippines need for implementation of the #SOGIEEqualityBill. 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. Kasabay ng hinihinging pagpasa ng #SOGIEEQUALITYBILL, dapat din tayong humiling ng mga sumusunod bilang isang komunidad: 1. "Accessible forms of information for the public such as educational drives, programs and awareness campaigns": para mas maintindihan natin ang mga pangangailangan ng LGBTQ+ community at para malaman natin ang mga bagay na maaari pa nating magawa bilang mga kaalyado o mga taong may awa sa kapwa ❤. 2. "A SOGIE workplace policy": para sa lahat ng mga pampublikong tagapaglingkod at mga taong may impluwensiya sa komunidad. Gusto ko ring pagtuunan natin ng pansin ang katotohanang wala dapat makaranas ng anumang uri ng pagpapahiya at pang-aabuso (emotional, physical o sexual), LGBTQ+ man o hindi. The whole arguement of shifting the blame to the victim for reasons of being trans to justify abuse - is still victim blaming and IS NOT RIGHT. The blame should be on the perpetrators who should be held accountable and corrective actions should be taken (in last nights case - points one and two above could greatly help prevent future similar incidents from happening). Ang LGBTQ + ay nakikipaglaban para sa kanilang mga karapatan - ang karapatan sa kaligtasan, proteksyon at pagkakapantay-pantay - ay laban din natin. 🏳‍🌈 #SOGIEEqualityNow
