A CALL TO OPEN HEARTS AND OPEN MINDS
A woman blessed with stunning looks and enviable pedigree doesn’t usually wish she was a member of the third sex… but Divine Lee does… well she isn’t exactly a woman, not according to her gay friends.
“Proud ako to say na yes, Baklang Babae ako! As in Baklang, Baklang Babae!” proclaimed the gorgeous Ms. Lee in her speech during “Ladlad 8: The Metamorphosis”, a fundraising dinner in celebration of the political party’s 8th Anniversary. She further surprised the audience when she expressed her wish for a gay child in the future.
Entertainment value aside, the essence in Divine’s message is her call for equality. Her dearest friends are gay and she cited specific incidences when they were discriminated upon in establishments, job applications even at a public beach.
