okay so i know you are all familiar with hit filipino icon Charice
aka singer of this iconic BOP pyramids
a couple years ago she came out as a lesbian on a filipino talk show (as well as on oprah’s talk show ‘where are they now’) which is a HUGE movement especially with her being filipino because the philippines is not a very lgbt+ friendly country. however her courage to come out really gave lgbt filipino teens a voice and an inspiration.
and a couple days ago (6.19.17) charice announced that she will no longer be known as charice. instead, he is known as jake zyrus
so please please please go do share some support and love for jake because he really deserves this. he’s such an important lgbt icon for filipino youth and i think it’s really important that we give him the recognition and praise he deserves.
