MANILA, Philippines — Mayroon nang hiwalay na graduation rites na ipa­tutupad ang Quezon City government para sa mga graduating high school o college students sa lungsod na hindi napayagan na magmartsa na nakasuot ng kanilang march in gender-affirming attire.

Ito ay makaraang ia­nunsyo ng QC-LGU na sa Hunyo 22 ay magsasa­gawa ng “Graduation Rights: March with Pride in QC” na isang espesyal na akti­bidad para ipagdiwang ang ika-85 taong anibersaryo ng QC.

Sinasabing may ilang mag-aaral na bahagi ng LGBTQIA+ community ang hindi napayagan na magmartsa kung hindi isusuot ang dress code ng paaralan kahit na may utos ang Department of Education na ipatupad ang  “gender-responsive basic education policy” sa lahat ng pa­aralan.

“Graduation rites are everyone’s rights, regardless of expression. In Que­zon City, you have the right to express your truth, no matter your SOGIE,” sabi ni Belmonte.

May hanggang Hunyo 7 naman ang mga mag-aaral mula sa naturang komunidad para magrehistro at makasama sa naturang graduation rites.
