Inad Quinones Rendon is a staunch advocate of LGBT rights and for those living with HIV. As a pioneering youth coordinator and human rights officer of SHINE, an LGBT network in General Santos City, he envisions full and equal political participation of LGBTs from all ethnicity in GenSan, as they currently remain under-represented. Inad started his advocacy for promotion of human rights in 2010, when he worked for the rights of the indigenous peoples, internally displaced persons, and victims of human rights abuses. He now finds his calling for the advocacy of LGBT rights. Inad earned units from the College of Law of Ateneo de Davao University, and he dreams of becoming a full-fledge LGBT rights lawyer someday.
