[edit] War vs Rosales

I added this moral war vs. Rosales. Since, Ang Ladlad is a political party, but it now douses itself on the moral aspect. And this sensational hysteria made waves: Ang Ladlad criticized Cardinal Gaudencio Rosales's statement per Radio Veritas on May 5, 2008, that "Gays should not be allowed to participate in Flores de Mayo since it defeats the true meaning of the celebration." Danton Remoto attacked the cardinal's statement, saying that: "In the eyes of God, everyone is equal; Some of these gay men have saved a lot of money for their gowns (to be worn in the procession) and they were doing it because they believed in the Virgin Mary. They need understanding, not condemnation."www.reuters.com, Manila bishop says against gay men in May parade Rosales however, countered that: “I am not angry at gay men. But, I am against what they’re actually doing.”queerty.com, No Homos At Mary Celebration, Says Cardinalmanilatimes.net, Cardinal: Gays out of ‘Santacruzans’ --Florentino floro (talk) 09:04, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

This is the exact same edit as one you put on the Gaudencio Rosales page. One incident of clashes with the Catholic church hardly seems notable for a Philipino gay rights advocacy group or political party. This article would be better served by a general description of Ang Ladlad's relationship/struggles with the church, which I imagine to be rather strained. maxsch (talk) 21:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

This article is so bare, like a stub. It is starting to progress. I am here in the Philippines, and this moral war, which went beyond the political house of this party, became banner headlines all over our nation. It is their cry for justice and equality. So, if this is not notable for you, then, what is notable. Your edit or deletion is both subjective and towards vendetta, with bad faith. You cannot be objective, if you single my edits. Give chance to other editors, to edit, amend or delete my edits. In Wikipedia, all editors are co-equals. For sure, you need respite, rest and travel out there. Rest assured, you will have peace of mind, and upon your return, you can edit with fair neutrality in this great online encyclopedia. Be an asset instead of burden to this great book. - --Florentino floro (talk) 11:45, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I did not say you shouldn't add to this article. But make sure your edits are relevant and notable. maxsch (talk) 04:35, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

NOTED. I never add anything into an article which is not worth reading, meaning therefore, notable, by future researchers. Like Filipino and USA S.C. Justices, who are and were, from the very first day of 1901 and C.J. John Jay, respectively, highly divided on rulings, or final judgments, Wikipedia editors should rather follow not the literal but policy intents of Wiki rules. Please be guided accordingly. - --Florentino floro (talk) 04:44, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
