SALUDO si Vice Ganda sa tapang at paninindigan ng basketball player na si Arnold van Opstal matapos ibandera ang kanyang pagsuporta sa LGBTQ+ community.
Sa mga hindi pa pamilyar kay Arnold, isa siyang Filipino-German professional basketball player sa PBA na naglalaro para sa GlobalPort Batang Pier.
Sa kanyang Instagram Stories, diretsong sinagot ni Arnold ang tanong ng isang netizen kung miyembro ba siya ng LGBTQ+ community.
Sabi ng cager, “My brother is ‘gay,’ a lot of my good friends are ‘gay’ however I am ‘straight.’
“The whole game of labelling sexuality is a joke. Preferences are preferences, love is love and everyone deserves to be their own authentic selves without having to fear the judgment of others,” aniya pa.
Dahil dito, pinuri ni Vice Ganda ang sincere at matapang na statement ng PBA player.
Komento ng TV host-comedian na ipinost niya sa Instagram, “First time I encountered a
Filipino athlete boldly spoke about LGBTQ+ and homophobia. Thanks @arnoldvanopstal!!! I hope everyone including your fellows in your sport sees this post.”
