Earlier today, theater and film actress Monique Wilson admitted that she is a lesbian.
She told her tell-all revelation during the press conference of One Billion Rising Philippines, a global campaign to stop the violence against women.
She said that some people already knew but she kept it a private matter.
“For all these years, I thank so many people especially the press who respects me for what I am,” she said
“I know that many of you know who I am, but the respect you gave is so overwhelming...I know that is something that I should be proud of.”
“Being a gay woman is something that I should be proud of being.”, as she proclaimed that she's a proud lesbian.
Why she decided to come out of the closet after several years of hiding her sexual status?
“Ngayon ko lang inamin publicly kasi nga ilang taon na ba ako? May kinakatakutan pa ba ako ngayon? This is the right time, I think, that I have to be public about it para matapos na ang mga speculations,” she added.
