tattoos club: Petition 811 People So Far!

MOJO is the 'offensive' billboard
UPDATE!!!!! 811 signatures so far!!!!!

I am signature #1!

The advocacy's of gay and lesbian communities in the Philippines have always been about freedom from any form bigotry and discrimination. The fight has been taken to several arenas – media, legal, political, medical, and even religious.

Last week, a billboard that featured Mojo Jojo endorsing the GlutaMAX product lines, became a cause of celebration not only among the gay communities but to all those who value freedom and equality in this country. The tagline, “I Wake Up Whiter and Gay Each Day” is a proud declaration of DJ Mojo Jojo, the first openly gay DJ in the airwaves, not only about his skincare but about his lifestyle choices as well.

Last night, August 18, 2009, the billboard was taken down. We heard rumors that the site owner gave in to the pressure from influential church groups who said that the billboard promotes a sinful life and is against the cultural and moral sensibilities of the general public.

We beg to disagree. We take offense in the insinuation that a simple declaration of one’s chosen skincare and lifestyle destroys the moral fabric of our society. We strongly demand that the billboard be re-installed, if bigger and in a better location ASAP.

that's sad, but i dont agree with how the petition was worded. i dont agree that being gay is a lifestyle. it's the same argument that anti-gay communities use to assert that homosexual life is a choice -- it is a lifestyle.

what's the point of having this particular billboard up? I'm all for the community but why this particular one? There are a lot of hetero ads all around with sexual innuendo. There's enough of that in the phils. If the church is talking about propriety and sin, why not take all of them down. The fact that they don't is discrimination. I personally find this ad distasteful, come out the closet in style. But to each his own.
