(Manila, Phillipines) - "PHANTOM candidates" will paint the town pink today to mark Friday the 13th and denounce the Commission on Elections’ decision to declare the party-list group of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders a nuisance, one of its leaders said yesterday. About 150 members of the Ang Ladlad group will gather in front of the Comelec offices in Manila to slam Chairman Benjamin Abalos Sr., who has called them phantoms, according to gay-rights champion Danton Remoto. "We will rally in front of Comelec to show we are not the phantom but the opera. We encourage people to join us in a show of the pink vote," he said.
