Through our lens, Pride is more than a celebration—it's a movement. ✊
From every smile, every embrace, every flag held high, and every voice raised with courage, these are the moments that made #LoveLab4n one for the books. As the biggest Pride celebration in Southeast Asia, it reminds us of the power of a community that continues to show up, stand together, and choose love despite every challenge.
Here's to the stories, the colors, and the people who make Pride unforgettable. 🌈

A massive crowd gathered at the Stonewall National Monument on Friday during New York City's pride celebrations and belted out the tune "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." The monument commemorates the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, sparked by police raids at the Stonewall Inn in 1969.
Being forced to hide who you are is a difficult experience lived by too many lesbian, gay, bi, trans and queer people around the world. Everyone should be free to show their colours! 🏳️🌈

'NOT ALL RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS ARE AGAINST SAME-SEX MARRIAGE'
Faith-based delegations were among the 300,000 who reportedly went to UP Diliman in Quezon City yesterday for the yearly Love Laban Pride Festival, pushing for the passage of a law legalizing same-sex marriage by LGBT-embracing religious denominations and same-sex civil unions, along with other calls.
Among them is a delegation from Open Table Metropolitan Community Church (MCC), led by Lay Pastor in Training Jom Buela, who points out that there is no explicit condemnation from Jesus against the LGBT or same-sex relationships in the Gospels.
"The sin of Sodom and Gomorrah is unhospitality. Even if basahin n'yo 'yan nang buo, it's never been about homosexuality between loving, consenting adults — may mga other verses tayo from the Old Testament that confirms kung ano ba 'yung naging kasalanan ng Sodom and Gomorrah. It's basically violence, greed and how they treat foreigners," Buela said during a GMA News interview in front of their festival booth.
He also says that it is not true that the legalization of same-sex marriage will force other ministries, churches and religions to recognize such and officiate the weddings.
"So, because we honor their freedom of religion, their freedom to express and worship na however they like it, as long as it's not harming other people — covered sila noong karapatan na 'yon. Na hindi naman pepwersahin ang simbahang magkasal ng same-sex couples if labag ito sa paniniwala nila dahil guaranteed ito ng freedom of religion," Buela said.
However, Buela said that it is also follows that LGBT-embracing churches and ministries like theirs should likewise have the capacity to legally officiate same-sex marriages under the same constitutional freedom.
"Wala naman pong difference sa pagmamahalan ng straight couple and sa dalawang parehas na kasarian na nagmamahalan as well. So, wala, we don't treat it as a sin. We consider it a part of God's creation," Buela added. | via Jaia Yap/GMA News
