President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday advised members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community to do whatever makes them happy and not violate the laws. In a news conference upon his arrival from his official trip to Thailand, Duterte maintained that he does not condemn same-sex relationship but that he is against same-sex marriage. If I allow it (same-sex marriage) then I would have violated the law,” the President said. “But if you would ask me what makes you happy, do it. So whatever makes you happy, you go out of this universe happy and fulfilled,” he added.
