The newly-created Cagayan de Oro City LGBTQ+ Federation vowed to strengthen its community in the face of discrimination its members continue to experience, stressing that there are still a lot of programs that need to be pursued. ManilaBulletin
CAGAYAN de Oro City Mayor Rolando Uy waves a rainbow flag to express his support to the LGBTQ+ community during the city’s Pride Month celebration at the Amphitheater, Divisoria, Cagayan de Oro City, on Saturday, June 24.
The city, Neri said, should also pass an ordinance that would provide enough budget for the programs and livelihood of the LGBTQ+ community. On Aug. 10, 2020, the 19th city council passed City Ordinance No. 13941-2020, also known as the "Cagayan de Oro City Diversity and Equality Ordinance." It aims to eliminate all forms of discrimination, where discriminatory practices as defined in the said law shall be proscribed and penalized.
On June 23, the very first set of officers of the said federation took their oath in front of Uy at the City Mayor’s Office. "It’s pitiful to see a Gandang Hari. It’s like a withered leaf, where no one won’t take care of them," Uy said in vernacular, stressing the contributions of those old LGBTQ members in the city during their younger years.
