"Not all gays are rich like Boy Abunda or Ricky Reyes," he says. "Maraming bakla sa mga parlor lalo sa probinsiya na talagang naghihirap. We want to have equal opportunities and protection for all gays. We'll file again the Anti-Discriminaton Bill that will condemn the oppression of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders in the workplace and in schools. We'll put up livelihood programs and a home for elderly gays and centers providing counseling, legal aid, information on HIV-Aids, and a library. Gusto rin naming alisin ang batas laban sa bagansya used by cops in mulcting gays."
He reckons that if all gays would vote for Ladlad, they can easily win. "Margaret Mead says 10% of the population is gay. 90 million tayo, so that means 10 million ang gays natin. Imagine kung lahat sila, boboto sa amin, kasama na pati yung mga hindi pa naga-out. Sa dami ng bading, ang Gateway raw ay Gayway, ang Greenbelt ay Gaybelt at ang Trinoma ay Binoma. Right now, we're getting support even from abroad, lalo na sa Middle East where they prefer gay hairdressers and sales clerks. No. 89 po kami sa balota."
They chose to support Noynoy Aquino for president and Jojo Binay for vice president. "Noynoy is Mr. Clean of local politics, walang bahid, walang mantsa. Si Mayor Binay, masipag at magaling na executive at may konkretong programa para sa mahihirap. Human rights lawyer siya noong panahon ni Marcos."
Other politicians support them, including a closeted one from the South who's known as the queen of Isetann Recto.
