MANILA, Philippines – LGBTQ+ groups are disappointed with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s third State of the Nation Address (SONA) as he did not mention equal rights as a priority issue of his administration.
The Asian SOGIE Caucus (ASC) has published an edition of the ASEAN Queer Imaginings Volume 2 in Khmer as part of its Pride Month celebrations with a launch event taking place on Thursday at the French Institute in Phnom Penh.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. closes his second year in office, and his second Pride Month as the country’s top leader, with a piece of key legislation for the LGBTQ+ community still missing from his priority bills: the SOGIE Equality Bill.
Pride Month celebrations continue with an evening of inspiration, diversity and artistic expression to celebrate the launch of the English and Khmer versions of ‘ASEAN Queer Imaginings Vol. 2’.
MANILA, PHILIPPINES — The streets of Quezon City are buzzing with excitement and anticipation as the annual Love Laban 2 Everyone Pride Festival approaches. Proudly presented by Pride PH in partnership with the Quezon City Government, this year’s festival is more than just a celebration — it’s a call to action for equality and inclusivity. That was highlighted during their press conference recently by the city government of Quezon and Pride Ph.
Thailand is set to become the first country in Southeast Asia to consider legalizing same-sex marriage, and at this critical time, there are both domestic opinions on where the question lies, as well as the hopes of the region’s LGBTQ community.
Indonesia, a multiparty democracy, continued to fall short in protecting and promoting basic civil and political rights. President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo began the last year of his two terms in office, during which he did little to advance human rights protections in the country. Politically, Jokowi made his son, Gibran Raka, the running mate to presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto after the Constitutional Court—headed by Anwar Usman, Jokowi’s brother-in-law—had controversially ruled that 36-year-old Gibran was eligible to join the presidential ticket because he is an elected mayor, despite the statutory age requirement of 40.
2023年7月17日，原定在印尼雅加達所舉辦的「東協酷兒倡導週（ASEAN Queer Advocacy Week）」因主辦單位多次收到安全威脅後，在活動舉辦前一周緊急取消。
「不管是在Instagram或是推特（現為Ｘ），我們收到很多威脅訊息，大多都是來自印尼的帳號，但也有來自馬來西亞、中國跟俄羅斯。」東協酷兒倡導週的主辦單位之一—東協多元性別小組 （ASEAN SOGIE Caucus，下簡稱ASC）執行長西維里奧（Ryan V.Silverio）表示。
