CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY — One of Mindanao’s biggest groups of LGBTQIA+ has launched “Bayot, Botar!” (Gay, Vote!), a voters’ education caravan to fight “fake news” and disinformation among
the communities of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex and other sub-groups and their allies.
LGBTQIA+ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex and other sub-groups and their allies. “One of the topics of [Bayot, Botar!] is on fake news. The challenge of the LGBTQIA+ is we must not spread it but scrutinize it,” Dumanlag told the Inquirer. “We will educate them on how to vote properly, and who they should vote for, although we don’t promote a particular candidate or political party,” he said.
“We cannot deny the fact that the LGBTQIA+ has its own sector in the community. We need to empower them in the coming elections down to the grassroots, as this will be a make-or-break for us all. We cannot wait for another six years,” Dumanlag said. “We will not be campaigning for one candidate as we are aware that our members differ in their choices of candidates,” he added.
