Open Educational Discussion on January 25, 2011


UPLB BABAYLAN is a gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) students' support group which believes in the inherent equality of all persons regardless of status or condition. This inherent equality implies that human beings should not be discriminated against on the basis of their sexual orientation.

The organization strongly believes that LGBT discrimination comes from prejudice, which is a product of ignorance. Education is the best weapon so shatter ignorance and homophobia.
