MATALAM, North Cotabato – Sen. Robin Padilla files a bill seeking to legalize same sex individuals to enter into civil union. This was docketed as Senate Bill No. 449. Sen. Padilla’s bill not only seeks to institutionalize civil unions of same sex couples but it also included anti-discrimination protections for people in such unions.
Many views on the contrary have already been expressed by religious organizations on the issue of same sex marriage or union, but debates among small quarters of the population continue to persist. Despite the fact that a great majority of the world’s religions are opposed to this kind of union, the number of religious denominations that are conducting same sex marriages have been increasing since 2010.
If the world’s religions and societies do not give such recognition that homosexuality can be practiced by people who identify themselves as such, as well as established social norm that there are certain kind of people who are naturally like that, then the quest for homosexual identity and recognition shall remain a long and hard struggle.
Any attempt at confusing the physical configurations of man and woman or trying to introduce a third identity not otherwise contemplated under God’s creation will naturally meet vehement opposition, loud criticism, and maybe minor but not a distant possibility is violent reaction from the religious sector and moralist groups. The Grand Imam, Alim Abdulmajeed Djamla, of the Marawi City Grand Mosque and his followers have already manifested their withdrawal of support for Sen.
