Abante Vows to Block Anti-Discrimination Bill

The Gay Hall of Shame list of the Human Rights Watch didnâ€™t seem to make re-elected Congressman Bienvenido Abante budge. Abante is one of the men on the hall of shame list, alongside the Pope and US President Dubya Bush, among others.

Representative Abante, in a recent interview with the Inquirer, said that he would â€œalways blockâ€ the anti-discrimination bill â€” whether or not he regains the chairmanship post of the Committee on Civil and Human Rights.

For someone who claims that he did not impose his moral beliefs on others, a statement like: â€œ(Being) gay is a lifestyle, itâ€™s not a gender. If youâ€™re going to give them [additional] rights, then we might as well give rights to prostitutes,â€ sure sounds too illogical. If you equate sexual orientation with the worldâ€™s oldest profession, there sure is something wrong with your logic. This representative needs to get his facts straight (pun not intended).
