The Philippines' gay political party was admitted on the electoral ballot for the first time in the country's history on Monday.

The election would determine whether Ang Ladlad — or, in English, Out of the Closet — would gain the three seats allowable for unrepresented minority groups in the Congress, according to CNN.

One of the party members running for office is Bemz Benedito, a transgender woman who also works for Sen. Loren Legarda, a vice-presidential candidate and Ang Ladlad supporter.
