Just putting it out here that even if you say #NoToSOGIEBill, once the SOGIE Equality Bill is passed, you will be protected from discrimination.

Sa Lgbtq+ na nag sasabi na #NoToSogieBill, lemme say this
— Zill #JUNKTERRORLAWNOW (@zillarziel) November 4, 2020
The point of the bill is to CRIMINALIZE discrimination
It creates LEGAL AND STATE RECOGNIZED PROTECTIVE MEASURES.
Discrimination can still happen. But with SOGIE, they can't get away with it. #SOGIEEqualityNow pic.twitter.com/KX8gG1WquO

no, sweetie. just because we have different beliefs does not mean that it's okay for you to deprive other people of their human rights. all we want is to be treated equally. #SOGIEEqualityNow

Reminder na the SOGIE Equality Bill aims to protect EVERYONE, not just the LGBTQIA+, from harassment and discrimination. It will not take away any of your rights as a straight person. It will just give the same to those who have less.#YesToSOGIEBill#SOGIEEqualityNow pic.twitter.com/Uw1EBOyeU5
