Mari proud na proud sa pagiging bisexual

Talk of the town ngayon ang pag-amin ng ex girlfriend ni Sam Milby na si Mari Jasmine ng relasyon niya sa female director na si Samantha Lee.

Nag-post si Mari ng pagdalo nila sa event ng LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual) community last Wednesday kung saan ay makikita sa larawan na magkasama sila ng direktor ng Baka Bukas.

Sa mahabang caption, ibinahagi ni Mari ang masayang karanasan at ang pag-amin sa relasyon niya sa girlfriend.

“What an inspiring #pridemonth we’ve just wrapped up! 25,000 people strong this year in Manila, celebrating as one.

“Pride is about celebrating love, equality, and owning your truth. So here’s mine: in the little time I’ve spent on this earth, I’ve had the privilege of being in love with both men and women.

“Filipinos are known to be some of the most loving people on earth. As a foreigner arriving in Manila over 5 years ago, I can attest to this - I’ve been accepted and treated with love and compassion from day one. I’ve been welcomed to family dinners, been nurtured, taken care of and was never made to feel like an outsider.

“My dream is for the same kind of love, compassion, and understanding to be shown to the LGBTQIA+ community. We still have a long way to go to reach acceptance and equality, especially here in the Philippines.

“My dream is to live in a world where I feel safe walking down the street holding my girlfriend’s hand. A world where I have the same fundamental human rights that I would be entitled to if I were in a straight, heteronormative relationship.

“To those who don’t have any friends or family in the LGBTQIA+ community, I implore you to reach out and start learning. We are often only afraid of the things we don’t know or understand. To reach equality, we need our allies to be as passionate and vocal about our rights as we are.

“To the LGBTQIA+ community and to those who are still questioning/figuring out who you are - you are wonderful, worthy and loved. Don’t let any person or any institution let you think otherwise. I stand by you and I will fight with you forever,” ang caption ni Mari at obvious namang masayang-masaya siya ngayon sa buhay na pinili.

Matatandaang nag-date for a while sina Sam at Jasmine in 2015 pero naghiwalay din sila ng landas noong 2017.

Zeus ‘di napigilan ang sarili kay Myrtle

Hanga naman kami kay Hashtag Zeus Collins dahil matapang niyang inamin na talagang tinablan siya kay Myrtle Sarrosa sa mga eksena nila sa Wander Bra.

Wala naman silang daring scenes or love scenes sa pelikula pero siyempre, bilang lalaki, ‘yung costume pa lang ni Myrtle na two-piece ay sapat na para makaapekto sa kanya.

“Siyempre, medyo nakakailang kasi ang mga eksena namin, naka-two-piece siya, so parang ikaw, lalaki ka, makikita mong ganu’n,” natatawa niyang sabi.

So, tinablan siya?

“Tinablan pero nandu’n pa rin ‘yung kailangang magtrabaho ka pa rin nang maa­yos,” pag-amin niya.

“Konti lang naman, kasi siyempre lalaki ka, eh,” dagdag pa niya.

Inisip na lang daw niya talaga na maging professional at matapos nang maayos ang mga eksena.

Si Zeus ang leading man ni Myrtle at ni Kakai Bautista sa Wander Bra at ayon sa Hahstag member, hindi raw niya akalaing darating ang puntong ito sa career niya na magiging lead actor din siya.

“Hindi ko po talaga nakita ito sa buhay ko dahil maliit lang po ang pangarap ko dati - maging back-up dancer lang ng mga artista. Tapos ngayon, nandito na ako sa It’s Showtime, tapos binibigyan pa ako ng pagkakataon para umarte,” sey pa ni Zeuz.

Excited na nga raw siya sa showing ng pelikula soon since ito nga ang biggest break niya bilang aktor.  Ang Wander Bra ay mula sa direksyon ni Joven Tan under Blue Rock Productions.
