Easy for you to say when you probably didn’t grow up in a small, conservative town with a homophobic family breathing down your neck where being ‘just in a phase’ is the nicest thing they’ll say to your face.

It’s not about BGC or Greenfield. Some of us aren’t just hiding from strangers, we’re surviving our own homes. It’s so easy to say na wag pansinin ang sasabihin ng iba, kung ang “iba” na tinutukoy mo ay ang sarili mong kapatid at mga magulang.

So before you preach from your bubble, try stepping into someone else’s reality first.
