A group championing the rights of the LGBTQ+ community has called out the LTO for including the sector among the people who can be accommodated in the agency’s priority lanes. | dempseyreyesINQ /PDI
“So we want to make it clear — being an LGBTQ+ in no way impairs or affects a person in a physical capacity to take part in crucial governmental functions,” Valmores said in a phone interview on Saturday.
One post on Saturday showed a photograph of the LTO’s San Isidro District Office in Isabela province with a sign indicating a priority lane for “senior citizen, pregnant woman, person with disability and LGBTQ.” An earlier post on Valentine’s Day showed the agency’s Batanes District Office with heart-shaped balloons decorating a “special lane for senior citizen, person w/ disability, pregnant woman and LGBTQ.”
Reyes added that the inclusion of the LGBTQ+ in its priority lanes was part of the LTO’s “gender and development” project for the month of March.
