Team Pilipinas recently joined the FGG as a partner organisation. This Facebook entry was distributed by their president. It is an excellent simple video media campaign for human rights.
Rainbow greetings to you all!
Philippine Forum on Sports, Culture, Sexuality and Human Rights (TEAM PILIPINAS) is a registered non-profit organization working on social change for and by young Filipino LGBTIs and other SGMs from the grassroots. The organization believes that society’s view on LGBTIs and SGMs as either being mentally disordered, freaks of nature, sinners, or immoral people is clearly wrong, blatantly oppressive and totally unjust and that there is a need to raise people’s awareness on these issues and to mobilize public action against discriminatory views and practices towards building a society that recognizes, promotes and protects the equality in dignity, rights and freedoms of all persons no matter what their statuses or conditions in life are.

In collaboration with and through the creative inspiration brought by indie filmmaker-producer Jethro Patalinghug, celebrated fashion photographer Niccolo Cosme, and social entrepreneur Francis Baraan, the ‘I AM NOT IMMORAL!’ Photo and Video Project is part of TEAM PILIPINAS' multi-level strategy in championing the equal human rights of Filipino LGBTIs and other SGMs. The Project mainly focuses on the "immorality" aspect of the human rights violation experienced by LGBTIs and other SGMs in the Philippines but it complements the other campaign efforts of TEAM PILIPINAS. Aside from intervening and mobilizing participation at the hearings of the Anti-Discrimination Bill, TEAM PILIPINAS is campaigning (mostly online for now until resources allow) to convince the Permanent Mission of the Philippines to the United Nations to sign statements that Affirm the universality of Human Rights and Protect the equal human rights of all Filipinos regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity

We are sharing the videos with you in the hope that you will be able to partly understand the struggle of sexual and gender minorities in the Philippines, that you and your respective organizations will be inspired to keep the flame of love and freedom burning wherever you may be, and ultimately, that you may also help us in pushing for the passage of the Anti-Discrimination Bill and in our campaign to convince the Permanent Mission of the Philippines to the United Nations to sign statements that Affirm the universality of Human Rights and Protect the equal human rights of Filipino LGBTIs and other SGMs.
For questions regarding the Project and TEAM PILIPINAS, you may contact us at teampilipinas.org@gmail.com.
Warm regards,
Bruce
