Actor Dennis Padilla says he respects the queer and trans community, citing his daughter in the US who is in a same-sex marriage.
His newest movie “Pakboys: Takusa,” gained criticisms about one of the scenes wherein Padilla’s character seems to regret having spent a night with a woman after he sees her peeing while standing, indicating she is transgender.
“Kapag napanood niyo naman ang buong scene, sexy saka may bed scene kami kaya matutuwa rin yung LGBTQ community, kasi nag-make love kami,” PEP.ph quoted Padilla as saying.
He then brought up his daughter, who is married to a woman in the States.
“My eldest daughter Diane, who is 30 years old, is married to Katx who is also a woman. And I respect them because mahal ng anak ko, e,” he said, noting that Diane married her wife in September 2019.
“So, nang ikasal sila sa Amerika, I was happy for them. Ako pa ba ang babastos sa LGBTQ, e ‘yung daughter ko, asawa, babae? Legally married sila,” he added.
