Face to Face: Barako Syota ay Tatlo! Nang magkaharapan, may ibukuking na totoo!

"... 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.

America's Next Top Model features its first Transgender Contestant

"Now this is Transgender Empowerment!"

ISIS
Age:

22

Hometown:

Prince George's County, Maryland (currently New York, New York)

Occupation:

Program Assistant at a non profit organization.

SHE'S A HE???

From Yahoo TV:

By TV Guide News
Thu Aug 14, 9:48 AM PDT

The new season of America's Next Top Model will include Isis, the show's first transgender contestant.

"My cards were dealt differently," Isis, 22, told Us. The aspiring model is from Prince George's County, Maryland, and describes herself as "a woman born physically male."

Her historic turn as the show's first transgender contestant, though, isn't why she's getting on the Top Model runway. "I like to help people, but I'm here to follow my dreams," she said.

Yet, GLAAD leadership is still applauding her addition to this year's group of models wannabes. "We applaud Tyra Banks and The CW for making this historic visibility of transgender people possible," president Neil Giuliano said.

Will the addition of Isis change the game for transgender models on " and off the show? " Anna Dimond

PBB Teen Edition Big 4!

Kalurkey ang results ng Final 4 ng PBB Teen Edition. Hehehe. But who am I to critic the decision eh hindi din naman ako bumoto. Well, they deserve it. Nakinood lang kami sa Tapsihan sa SM Manila and sobrang ingay namin when Robi's name was the first name sa Big 4. Then si Nicole. Third si Beauty, hmm... No comment. Magkaholding hands pa sina Ejay at Alex while waiting na may matawag sa kanila. Lastly, si Ejay na yung tinawag.

Sinong Bet kong Big 4 if ever? Ejay, Robi, Alex, Nicole

Sinong Bet kong Big Winner?

The True BLUE ATENISTA
