This study discusses the role of the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC) in the fight for equal human rights of the LGBTI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transexual, Intersex) people in the Philippines. The crisis of tolerance and acceptance of homosexuals in almost all over the world, especially in Eastern countries become a serious problem when the stereotypes and prejudice eventually evolve into acts of discrimination, violence, and other human rights violations. The homosexual�s conditions that are constantly pressured by authority of the majority society pushed them to grown and become more solid with the same goal, which is to fight for equal rights. IGLHRC as one of the gay rights movement is present and plays role in the Philippines. New Social Movement theory used in this study to investigate the IGLHRC�s role and efforts through the framing process. The process will form a collective identity which will be the fondation of how an organization can work and strengthen the action is executed. Framing processes undertaken aimed at two things, maintaining a collective identity and social change in society. The argument of this study that IGLHRC 's role in the fight for gay rights equality in the Philippines carried out with the framing process and keep the collective identity of its members. Through this process the authors see that what IGLHRC and its networks influence informally where the public acceptance of homosexuals is increasing, but IGLHRC needs to work harder to minimize the violence and discrimination that still occurs in the Philippines, considering that the Philippines has the anomalous condition of homosexuality in which it is a very unique at the same time the Western liberalism and church authorities attract each other.
