Beyond Rainbow Promises: Congressman Allan Reyes and Councilor Atty. Anton Reyes Champion LGBTQIA++ Rights in District 3, Quezon City

Wazzup Pilipinas??

In a political climate often marked by empty platitudes and performative allyship, Congressman Allan Reyes and Councilor Atty. Anton Reyes are cutting through the noise with a bold, unapologetic stand: equality isn't optional — it's essential.

On April 7, 2025, the Reyes tandem will step into a Facebook Live arena, not just to talk, but to listen, engage, and act. Their online event, hosted by queer icon and UP Babaylan alumna Khaki Bernardo, isn't just a sit-down chat. It’s a heartfelt declaration: the LGBTQIA++ community is seen, heard, and fiercely supported in District 3, Quezon City.

At a time when gender identity and queer rights are under the magnifying glass — and too often, under attack — this event promises more than optics. It’s a continuation of the Reyes duo’s advocacy built on four enduring pillars: education, infrastructure, jobs and businesses, and health and financial assistance. But this time, they're coloring these pillars in the vibrant shades of inclusivity.

Queer Talks That Matter

This isn't just another campaign stunt. Reyes and Reyes are diving headfirst into tough but necessary conversations: gender expression in schools, accessible healthcare for same-sex couples, workplace discrimination, and the creation of communal safe spaces. These aren’t just buzzwords — they’re battlegrounds where rights are won or lost every day.

The event will also feature a trivia game that cleverly balances levity with learning. It’s a nod to the power of joy in queer resistance — where learning becomes inclusive, and advocacy feels like home.

A Legacy of Action

Congressman Allan Reyes isn’t new to the fight. From co-introducing the SOGIE Equality Ordinance to advocating for gender-neutral bathrooms and funding LGBTQIA++ organizations, his track record is a patchwork quilt of real initiatives that have helped stitch safety and dignity into the lives of queer constituents.

Councilor Anton Reyes, younger but no less committed, has followed through by supporting pride-centered events and transforming public spaces with visual affirmations of inclusion — rainbow-colored benches and trash bins that, though simple, scream visibility in a society that still often looks away.

Together, they amplify a core promise branded as #YESnaALL — a powerful declaration that no identity will be left behind in their push for progress.

A Future Queer and Fearless

This April 7 at 8 PM, the Reyes tandem invites the public to join their live session via the YES NA YES kay Allan Reyes! Facebook page. But more than a simple invitation, it’s a call to action for a city — and a country — on the brink of defining what kind of future it wants to shape.

Will it be one of division and exclusion? Or one where every citizen, regardless of whom they love or how they identify, can walk through life proud, protected, and empowered?

With leaders like Allan and Anton Reyes, District 3 is betting on the latter.
