in defense... (let's stir up something new)
(this is a message i told my good friend, lanz, in a site, where some people say, that whoever joins, is gay. there's nothing wrong with that. but to call a person a hypocrite is something else. come, join me, let's stir something new in this pesky blogspot of mine...)

well, i should say, i, myself, was surprised (to now) that you are married.
and you did a great job answering back. i can't make a rebuttal for anybody, in any threads here. but if i am going to do one, i am going to do it for you.
as i reckon, your 'detractors' said something about 'makitid and utak'. they just do not get the point that you are you, as much as we are what we are. and i do not think that LABELLING is such a great deal in the Philippines. really, i have read a lot of threads here making fiery gestures, words beyond comprehension, trying to figure out who's who and what they do in bed.
it's not what we do with whom that matters. it is how we think as a person, and how we think of how other people are.
and YOU do think like what everyone SHOULD be. enjoying one's company does not mean you are one of them--i mean, entirely.
i, myself, do not believe in the saying "tell me who your friends are, and i'll tell you who you are".
if you see me with my straight-as-a-rod friends, you would think that i am straight. when i am with my gay/girl friends, i am still me. i make no difference with whoever i am. (well, there are times, that i might be a little 'playful') *wink* *wink*
i hate labelling. this is what the gay community in the Philippines is lacking. understanding. acceptance.
i mean, who cares if you don your gown, who cares if you wear makeup, who cares if you are such a muscular hunk but a bottom in bed, who cares if you are such a wimpy, limp-wrist straight guy but sure as hell as a heterosexual person, and who cares if you hangs out and enjoys a great gay company?
it is these things that divide people. not just in the gay community, but wherever it is applicable.
we have a language barrier around the world. fine. (even our clocks say different figures at a given time--but it is fine, gosh!)
but, come on, this is not what it is all about. it is about BEING A PERSON.
and being this, being a person, is what makes YOU a person.
i salute you.
i salute all the people who stand up to their words, and more appropriately to what they feel about.
sorry, medyo napahaba. i can't post this in the thread because i know that some not-so-broad-minded-people-who-only-wants-to-label-other-people will make a good striking narrow-minded rebuttal. and i don't like that.
come on, lanz, if they can't understand you, don't try to make them understand. understanding just happens. it does not have to have a reason.
like there is no reason that i should be alive and gay everyday!
catch you later!
