"... Gusto ko lang kasing malaman ninyo kung ano talaga ako bago ako umalis kung ano talaga ako at kung sino ako. Niloloko ko na sila, niloloko ko pa ang sarili ko... patawad, bakla po ako ma'am. "
These are the words said by Roland in this episode of Face to Face, a reality TV show that discusses different topics in our society nowadays. It was a courageous attempt to disclose his true identity and I admire him for his decision. However, I would want to express my disappointment with the reactions of the audience when his partner was asked about the reason why he stood by Roland. The audience kept on yelling "Pera!", "Magaling" thinking that same sex relationships are all about money and sex when in fact it should be about love and affection and emotional satisfaction. Too bad these people can stereotype gay relationships. I can't imagine how narrow they can be and because of this, I believe that they should be educated about the LGBT Community.
The advise of the religious counselor was that discriminating and he told Roland that God loves him despite the fact that he is gay. I hope that all preachers are like him unlike those who kept on throwing stones at us and thinks that they are righteous.
