THIRD SEX

It's quite disheartening to hear an out and out pure unadulterated Gay bashing from people in the media, with matching pseudo concern and with a dash of politeness on the side.
One would think that with the advancement in Gay causes people would have been a little tolerant with the LGBT Community. Unfortunately with TV personalities like Anthony Taberna who gave an outright condemnation of Gays in TV & other mediums from the Morning show of ABS-CBN "Umagang Kay Ganda,"
Here's the transcript and the English translation of the said rant from Mr.Taberna courtesy of Digital Journal

"May mga nagsasabi din sa atin...kung bakit ang bata ay humahantong sa ganito kaagang gulang ay nabibilad na po sa pakikipagkaibigan o umiibig sa kapwa lalaki lalo't ito'y bading pala, o nabubuo na yung ganong pagkatao niya. Eh meron pong nagsabi na mga taga telebisyon din ang may kasalanan niyan eh. Ang media daw ang may kasalanan dahil pagbukas mo pa lang ng telebisyon eh puro kami na nakikita niyo. Ibig sabihin, puro -pasensya na po sa termino- puro kabaklaan na raw po nakikita. Pag bukas mo ng telebisyon, pagbukas mo ng online - ng social networking, pinapahintulutan at tinatanggap na ng publiko...so siguro puede rin na...wake up call din po ito. Hindi po para siilin ang karapatan ng mga nasa third sex na magagaling naman talaga pagdating sa mga performance at iba pa. Pero mukhang na-e-engangyo po ang marami na maaga pa ay i-flaunt na yung kanila pong kabaklaan."

("I have been told that the reason that (male) children this young are already exposed to making friends with or being in love with other (male) children is...it is also the fault of TV. They say it is also the fault of media because the moment you turn on the TV, -sorry for the term- all you see are gay things. When you turn on the TV, when you log on to online - social networking, it (homosexuality) is allowed and accepted by the public. So perhaps this is a wake up call. I don't mean to take away the rights of the third sex, who are also good when it comes to performances and other things. But it seems a lot are encouraged to flaunt their gayness at a very early age.")

I mean seriously, it’s like being gay is something you develop or acquire by watching TV. And for cryin out loud the use of the word "THIRD SEX" is so demeaning....

Harvey Milk would be rolling in his grave if he hears what Mr.Taberna is saying. It's like Anita Bryant all over again....Crap I need my PIE...
