Equality nowadays is to conform to the clamor of a personal preference or "apps" of an individual, of a group or to the number of the surveys instead of working for the authentic reconciliation of peoples and true progress for our country.
Have we ever pondered on this meditation by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI?:
"Only when our will rests in the WILL OF GOD does it become TRULY WILL and TRULY FREE. "
We fight and bicker because we want laws to be passed to legalize the use of 13,7,000,000,000 Php of our taxes for free dole outs of contraceptive gadgets, the integration of sex education (including the use of contraception) in all subjects starting Grade 6, divorce and gay marriages, instead of using the above mentioned amount of money as seedbed for livelihood projects or cooperatives for 17 regions as a start of the alleviation of poverty thus ending the unjust marginalization of the poor in our society...

who will not have to cautiously cover their cleavage because of their plunging spaghetti straps nor to stretch their shortest-shorts to hide their long legged-legs because of dignity and virtue, thus the lessening of the number of cases of teen pregnancies. May we encourage our dear brothers and sisters with same-sex attractions that their situation is not a hindrance to Faithfully and FULLY FOLLOW OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST in denying ourselves, taking up the Cross of our Salvation and Following our GOOD SHEPHERD TO THE WELLSPRINGS OF THE FULLNESS OF LIFE, just like Abbot Aelred of Rielvaux, Patrick Einheber (http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/column.php?n=2037, http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/column.php?n=2115, and http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/column.php?n=2193), Budang and his wife Baduday in "Maalaala mo Kaya's" episode entitled: "Juice", Mr. Arnel Ignacio and Mr. Ansel Beluso, both good husbands and fathers to their respective wives and children. These VERY WITNESSES challenges each and every person with same-sex attractions to live-out CHRISTOCENTRIC LIVES whether it be in their celibate life (Living out the Pure and Selfless FRIENDSHIP OF CHRIST... BLESSED SINGLENESS), or in their family life (being called by GOD to enter the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony with their respective husband [as in MALE] and spouse [as in FEMALE] as the natural nucleus of Holy Mother Church and Society!).
