In a show of mutual love, eight “same sex” newly-weds will be touring around the country this year for a “road show” in a bid to goad others hiding in closets to come out in the open.
Flaunting their deed amid outcries from various Christian groups over Saturday’s mass wedding here, the “road show” is an effort “to encourage same-sex couples to come out in the open,” said Institution Leader Myke Sotero of the Metropolitan Community Church of Metro Baguio (MCCMB).
Sotero, Egay Constantino, Ceejay Agbayani and Regen Luna of the MCC solemnized the marriage vows of the eight couples—three are from Baguio, the rest from elsewhere.
The publicity caused by the strong opposition of the Catholic Church “gave us this opportunity to be recognized,” Sotero said.
MCC is “now flooded by request for holy unions around the country mainly coming from the Roman Catholic faithful.”
Sotero said they will solemnize same-sex unions across the nation starting from Luzon, Metro Manila, Cavite down to the Visayas and Mindanao.
Sotero said “we will not be cowed and bullied by a Goliath acting like God and Inquisitioner and who has no monopoly over religion, God and morality.”
The MCC pastor cited that “homosexuality” has been taken off the list of mental disorders by all leading international psychological associations since 1973.
Earlier, Bishop Carlito Cenzon of the Baguio-Benguet Vicariate tagged Saturday’s same-sex marriage as “an anomaly.”
The Roman Catholic bishop said that the participants in the wedding rites have “mental problems.”
