Tanong ni Geneva Cruz: Kasalanan nga ba ang pagiging bading?

MATAPANG na ibinandera ni Geneva Cruz ang kanyang paniniwala tungkol sa pagiging bading o tomboy ng isang tao.

Nagbigay ng mensahe ang singer-actress para sa lahat ng members ng LGBTQ+ community matapos mabalita ang engagement ng “Mean Girls” star na si Jonathan Bennett sa kanyang boyfriend na si Jaymes Vaughan.

Ipinagtanggol ni Geneva ang mga lalaking nakikipagrelasyon sa kapwa nila lalaki kasabay ng pagbanggit sa isang Bible story para patunayan na mahal ng Diyos ang mga taong inaapi at kinokondena ng kanilang kapwa.

Ni-repost ng singer ang news item tungkol sa gay couple na sila Jonathan at Jaymes at nilagyan ng caption na, “We don’t choose who we are or who we love.”

Sabi pa ni Geneva, “I was called many nice and nasty things because I felt sincere happiness for this couple.

“Just so you know, I don’t care what you think of me because that does not validate my existence, but thanks for spending some of your time and energy to hate on me though… I feel so special,” sey pa ng dating member ng Smokey Mountain.

Siniguro rin niya na kapag may anak siya na magiging member ng LGBTQ+ community, buong-puso niya itong tatanggapin dahil naniniwala siyang, “real love has no labels.”

Tanong naman ni Geneva, “Is homosexuality a sin? It’s an age-old question and there are people on both sides of the debate, each quoting their Bibles. How do we know who’s right? What would

Jesus do if He were here with us today? Jesus never said anything about homosexuality. So can we really say?”

“I think there is one thing we can be sure of — Jesus loves every one of us. In fact, Jesus was especially known for loving the very people that the religious people of his time had condemned and cast out.

“The real point [of the story] is that even though Jesus did consider adultery sinful, he still was the one who defended her. In fact, he was the only one there who was ‘without sin’ and yet did not cast a stone and did not condemn.

“So again, even if we think homosexuality is wrong, we know what Jesus would do in our shoes. He has drawn a line in the sand, and we need to decide what side of that line we will be on,” pahayag pa ni Geneva na patuloy na naninindigan para sa mga miyembro ng LGBTQ community.
