 Welcome to Ang Ladlad Community Website

Welcome to the website of Ang Ladlad, the national organization of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Filipinos.

You've seen us on television, heard us on the radio, saw us in print. You will see more of us in the tri-media as the days pass. Now we will continue our conversation in the brave, new world of the Internet.

Feel free to sign up, join us, and know more about the complex and exciting life of the Filipino LGBT.

We are committed to fighting for your rights, for the passage of the Anti-Discrimination Bill, to give you subsidized counseling and legal help, to be there with you.

And yes, we are still committed to running for party-list elections in May of 2010. Together, we can tell the world: we have come, we are here.

And we are Ang Ladlad!
