“baklang baby ko,” comment ni Frankie Pangilinan sa post ng queer sis niyang si Miel.
May mahabang post nga si Miel para sa celebration ng Pride Month.
Isa si Miel sa mga umamin na bakla siya at hindi tomboy.
Na medyo ikinaka-confuse ng ilan.
Kasi dati, ang salitang bakla ay para sa lalaking ang puso ay babae. Pero ngayon kahit babae ay bakla na rin ang tawag.
Mahaba ang paliwanag ni Miel na siya sa queer nang una niyang aminin na siya ay bakla.
Post niya days ago : “happy #pridemonth this month i’m celebrating: queerness, identity, sexuality, love, and people. the first pride was a riot—always remember. though pride is a time for celebration and togetherness and is an occasion for happiness for the community, we must also remember that there is still so much we are fighting for as a community in this country.
“the rights to safety, the rights to marry who we want to marry, are still heavily debated on by people who make real shots that affect real people. now is the month to show who we are, to show that we exist, and that nobody will silence us or make us feel ashamed in ourselves for being who we are. i am here. i exist. i have been here. i have existed. i am a queer filipino who is proud to be a member of this beautiful, long-standing community.
“to my closeted queers, to my out queers, to my allies, have a safe, happy, and napaka-bonggang-bonggang pride month! i love you all. love and identity have no boundaries, and exist in no binary. as long as you are happy and keeping other people around you safe, you are valid and you are loved.? mabuhay mga bakla!!
