Friends,

The members and volunteers of GALANG or the Gay and Lesbian Activist Network for Gender Equality Inc. THANK YOU for your overwhelming support during our launch party last Saturday. We thank you for your kind words of encouragement and solidarity, generous donations, and offers of assistance to further our collective aspirations as members of the Filipino lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. Thank you to the very talented artists who gave outstanding performances during the night, namely Miguel Naranjilla, Chie Makiling, Ram Tolentino, Flush, Tao Aves & Popoy Diokno, and Velvet, and to Randell Urbano who graciously co-emceed for the event.

We encourage you to visit GALANG website from time to time for updates regarding our LGBT solidarity events and training activities for grassroots LGBTs. For direct communications, kindly contact us at +63917-887-0501 (general inquiries) and +63929-664-6037 (media and public relations concerns).

We look forward to your continued support for GALANG! Maraming salamat at mabuhay ang LGBT community!

In Solidarity,
Anne Lim (sgd.)
President, GALANG
