Philippines recognises gay political party
A gay political party in the Philippines has won the right to be recognised as a legitimate party for the first time.

This week, the Philippine supreme court overturned a ruling barring Ang Ladlad (Out of the Closet) from contesting national elections in May.

The party, made up of gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans members, was denied accreditation by the Elections Commission on the grounds that it is immoral and offensive to Christians and Muslims.

It seeks anti-discrimination laws and support for gay-related businesses, among other things.

God knows the two major parties find us offensive, and the feeling is mutual
