WHAT ARE
REASONS WHY IT
WAS OPPOSED?
WHAT ARE REASONS WHY IT WAS
OPPOSED?
Some of the provisions can be a backdoor cut for other means of the
LGBTIQA+ community for other conservative groups. But for others, it is a
way to discriminate against the straights, freedom of religion and freedom of
expression. Here are the following reasons.
g) Deny an application for or revoke, on the basis of SOGIE, any government
license, authority, clearance, permit, certification, or other similar documents
necessary to exercise a profession, business, or any other legitimate calling;
- this can mean that they can now apply for marriage certificates and
sue the government if they are not granted this permits. But according to Sen.
Hontiveros it is only applicable to documents to exercise professions. For other
groups, it can also mean that a parent can how leave blank the “Sex” in the
Birth Certificate.
Some also see it as a way of discrimination against the religious
freedom of other people. Imagine if you are running a Catholic or Christian
school that only exclusive for girls or boys. Will you not be compelled to accept
say a biological boy who identifies himself a girl or a biological girl who
identifies himself a boy besides they say transmen are men. Or let say if a
transwoman who will compete in a sports event for women, would that
discriminate the biological women putting them at enormous disadvantage but
then again transwomen are women.
Senator Villanueva raises a question if a religion promotes their beliefs
on same-sex marriage will it constitutes stigma and discrimination but it will
also cause discrimination or violation of freedom of religious beliefs.
A baker in the United States was sued for refusing to make a wedding
cake for a gay couple. The Supreme Court of the United States later ruled on
the favor of the cake shop owner on the basis of his religious belief and
freedom of expression. If a similar incident happened in the Philippines,
according to Sen. Hontiveros the cake shop owner will have a legal obligation
to practice non-discrimination because operating under a permit. It means he
has to sell that cake even it was against his religious belief.
