Controversial Manila Pride Parade 2018 (Marikina, Philippines) - VLOG 23

Watch the 2019 Manila Pride here: https://youtu.be/JkVmwNb-vGk

This was the first time I attended the Metro Manila Pride Parade held in Marikina Sports Center on June 30, 2018. The attendance from the community was outstanding - the whole sports complex was almost filled with people. Outside the grandstand were some hecklers who crashed the parade, holding anti-queer signs and asking people to repent their sins through megaphones.

I interviewed one of the anti-gay bystanders and it was one of the first times in my life where I felt like I was judged. Being a straight person celebrating equality for all genders (and wearing the LGBT flag colors), I learned to understand what it feels like for the LGBTQ people who are looked down upon by family members and individuals.

I look forward to seeing more people who will stand up for freedom and equality in the Philippines in the coming years.
