taboo daw

earlier i had a chat with a colleague regarding a volunteer work i was considering of doing. as we progressed in our discussion, i relayed my involvement in a homosexual group before that was formed as a support community for gays in cebu. it was obvious that he was taken aback when i told him that i was gay. actually, the reaction he had merited my "inner" laughing because when i said "i'm a homosexual", he immediately pressed his index finger to his lips to hush me while looking around with paranoia written all over his face. he said "it's a taboo here to say you're homosexual".

apparently, a lot of my officemates only toyed the idea that i might be gay but never concluded that i really am despite the way i flaunt myself like my swishy swoosh runway walk, or sultry voice, or my designer tight so gay outfits! hehehe. the gay scenario and awareness in singapore is totally different in the philippines. if i were just sitting somewhere in the philippines without batting an eyelash, people would instinctively know that i'm of the higher kind, the diyosa! hehehe.

i didn't witness this kind of shock learning about my sexuality from this guy alone. i had two more officemates who were surprised with my openness. of course i told them "haller! am i not obvious???". one conversation even went like this:

she: are you serious.
me: yes, of course.
she: then why are you so open about it?
me: why not?
she: how did your company and colleagues before take it?
me: oh they love me!
she: really?
me: really really.

hehehe. oh, well. it's about time singapore learn true gayness and the beauty that comes with it! and with me! :p
