The average; norm.
is there such a form?
Forlorn; torn between a sole journey
and the sojourn of the soul.
The final visionary,
overtaken by solemn undertakings
as serene reality, overshadowed by unreal premise
trickles down, abandoned by discontented minds.
Silenced murmurs echo unchecked,
obscured among lost footsteps of dissident spirits.
Lighten prospects through unenlightenment;
Quench the thirst for reality with tears of confusion.
Shaded nuance and veiled subtlety;
forsaken graces of humanity
when fear of individuality
overwrites morality.
-khalel zantillan
i forgotten how sweet the black tears taste.
rekindling the dying light, beckons: I am home.

LGBT Bloggers for Manila Pride March 2008!
I would like to personally thank Red Box for graciously sponsoring the LGBT Bloggers' Night last Sunday, November 16 at Red Box, Greenbelt 3.
Also, I would like to thank Joyce Pogoy and GeiserMaclang for helping us make this event happen.
And of course I'd like to thank all the LGBT Bloggers and their friends for coming and having fun with us!
For those who missed it, we know there was something else more important that you had to attend to, and we completely understand.
Congratulations to Yffar and Rainbow Bloggers Philippines for the launch of the group blog.
Congratulations also to the winners of Delifrance and Red Box GCs and domain names (courtesy of BaklaAko.com, of course hehe).
But the party and the fight is not yet over. The Manila Pride March 2008 is almost here and we still have a lot of things to accomplish!
It is in this light that we are inviting (once again), all LGBT bloggers (and supporters of LGBT causes) to join us as we represent our online community in this year's Pride March. We will be scheduling another get-together and meeting before the end of November so we can all discuss how we will represent our community at the Pride March. We already have a budget for the rental of the truck we will use for the float.
What we need now is commitment from everyone to join us on December 6 as we represent the LGBT Blogging Community at the Pride March. We need your help, support, and participation so we can tell not only the online world, but also the rest of the universe that we are here, we are queer, and we will stand up and fight for our rights!
The registration form for the LGBT Bloggers for the Pride March can be found below:
You may also register via this link: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pBMbzxkhfXMIuzVyY2lcDNg&hl=en
Please feel free to pass the message and/or copy-paste this entry and the form. We need all the participation and the help we can get! (If you are not out but want to join the march, we can certainly accommodate you and we already have some ideas as to how you can join us!)
Mabuhay tayong lahat!

Filipino LGBT Bloggers for Pride March!
We are inviting all Filipino Gay and Lesbian Bloggers to take part in this year’s Pride March which will take place sometime in December! Yes, we know it may still be too early, but we’re inviting you all to join us as we celebrate Pride! The organizers of this year’s Pride March — Task Force Pride and Society of Transsexual Women of the Philippines (STRAP) — are inviting us all to form a Bloggers Contingent for this year’s march.
There is no definite date yet, but we will post updates here soon.
Also, we can have an LGBT Bloggers Night slash meet-up sometime in October or November (I will work on getting sponsors for the venue and possibly food) for us to get to know each other more, unite our ranks, fight for our rights, and of course… party!
The world wide web has heard our voices online, why not let the rest of the offline world hear us too?
If you want to be part of this contingent, please send us the information below in an email to: gaybloggers@baklaako.com
Name: (Real or Psuedonym, it’s up to you)
Blog Url:
Blog Title:
E-mail Address:
If you have gay and lesbian friends who want to join the Pride March in December but do not have blogs, why not ask them to start one? There’s Livejournal, Wordpress.com, Multiply, Blogspot, Vox, and a whole lot more!
So come one, come all! In or out of the closet, come na!

The Anti-Discrimination Bill: 10 Things You Need To Know
Got this from the blog of gay activist extraordinaire Jonas Bagas:
Ten things you need to know about the Anti-Discrimination Bill:
Fight for equal rights for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders (LGBTs) by pushing for the passage of the Anti-Discrimination Bill (HB 956) authored by AKBAYAN Rep. Risa Hontiveros-Baraquel.
Here’s what the bill is all about:
Equal rights, not special rights. The bill does not grant additional or special rights to LGBTs. What it does is criminalize violations to the human rights and freedoms on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. The bill affirms and promotes human rights and freedoms that are enshrined in the Constitution.
Equality in schools. The bill prohibits discrimination against LGBT students, which usually takes place through unfair admission policies, unjust expulsion, and unreasonable disciplinary actions.
Equal opportunities in employment. By criminalizing unfair labor practices and policies on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, the bill promotes decent jobs for LGBT workers.
