I always had have been vocal about my sexual preference and that is being gay and will always be. I went through a lot because of it. I don't have any specific recall of when it started, or when I realized that I am one of the third sex. All I know I did not realize it over night. I remember during my childhood wearing a dress, not that i wore it by myself but my aunt dressed me up. Because of my innocence I have no idea of the doings back then. Then time came where I noticed that I'd rather play with a doll than playing cars. Since then people noticed something about me and they started calling me gay. Hearing it really made me confuse about myself. Still I struggled to be the person that I should be... to be a boy. In my elementary years I vividly remember having friends who were boys but no malice at all. Ergo, I was one of the boys. I was engaged in fights, the boys stuffs. Hence, having panda eyes, bruises and soreness in some of my body parts. Still the struggle kept haunting me to no avail. I was in my freshmen year in high school. I started to have infatuation with the same sex and that is where I realized who I really was. The emotional roller-coaster is one hell of a ride if you are gay. I am just lucky I guess because I have good emotional support from friends and family.
In this time and age, people are open about gay issues and morality but there will always be somebody or minority that will raise their hands to object and will say ill things about homosexuals. And that really hurts like a cut of a knife because I am one.
Let me sight a few.
Rica from PBB Double up. For some who are not religiously watching the show. She was a He before. Actually I am confused of what category should I refer him/her. He went to the knife and underwent sex change and that made him a transsexual Thus made him a she. Even though she is a woman already people still label her as a gay. I, myself will classify her as gay because I believe that she can't hide from her past. Going back. I was watching the show this afternoon in Uber. Rica is struggling to
be liked and accepted by his new housemates since all the girls switched houses. She was crying her heart out with Melay. Rocky Salumbides an International Model who already graced major label overseas like Versace and the like, and other housemates made retorts referring to Rica as "She-Man" and they are like eerie to get closed with her for the mere reason that Rica is different. For me that is foul. I feel her pain not because I experienced what she went through in life but because Rica represented the Gay Community.
The Ladlad partylist which represents The Gays and Lesbian communities made a fuss in the news lately because they were denied to run for the election.
The COMELEC commissioner revoked LadLad's candidacy because they said that Gays already have freedom and already enjoyed the immorality in the society. They also mentioned that there are gays in the senate already and they don't need Ladlad there. WTF?! That is bulls**t!. My stand on this matter is... Yes! Gays have freedom in this struggling country. I can attest to that. But the reason why Ladlad is pushing to run for the election because they are after for the human rights of Gays and Lesbians in the community. It is so frustrating that there are authorities that have antagonistic way of thinking. The third sex should have a representative in the Senate so that people can hear their cries.
What I am after for is equal treatment for the third sex. We are also human it just so happened that we went to a different direction but for sure along the way we will cross each other.
I have high respect to people who are member of the third sex - some are out in the closet, others rather kept quite because they are scared of what other people might say to them and some chose to become bisexual. I can't blame them. They have their reasons.
