MARAMI pa ring male celebrities ang nagdadalawang-isip umamin sa publiko tungkol sa totoo nilang pagkatao at kasarian dahil natatakot mawalan ng trabaho.
Yan ang paniniwala ng proud LGBTQIA+ member na si Raymond Gutierrez na naranasan at naramdaman niya mismo noong hindi pa siya nagka-come out bilang gay.
Ibinahagi ng kapatid nina Richard at Ruffa Gutierrez ang mga naging struggles niya noong hindi pa siya lantarang umaamin tungkol sa kanyang gender identity.
Sa panayam sa kanya ng vlogger na si Wil Dasovich para sa podcast nitong “SuperHuman” kasama ang best friend niyang aktres na si Carla Humphries, nagpaliwanag ang TV host kung bakit noong August, 2021 lang siyang nag-come out.
“I’m here to formally say that I am a proud member of the LGBTQ community. And it feels great saying that publicly because I am,” simulang pagbabahagi ni Raymond.
Kasunod nito, feeling lucky and blessed daw siya dahil sa kabila ng pag-amin niya na isa siyang beki, hindi siya iniwan at tinalikuran ng mga brands at services na kanyang ineendorso.
“I am lucky enough that when I came out all of my brand deals stood by my side and really supported me. But 10 years ago, 15 years ago, it would not have been the case.
“I think now we’re in a time where it’s more accepted. Obviously, we have a lot of people to thank for that, for breaking the barriers, leading the way, creating noise, and getting the public to be more accepting of LGBTQ representation in media,” aniya pa.

Patuloy pa niyang pagbabalik-tanaw, “But 10 years ago, it wasn’t the case. If you were gay on TV you would automatically have to be put on a wig or like you’d have to do slapstick comedy or like things like that. It was very difficult for people to come out because it wasn’t really accepted.”
Dagdag pang pahayag ni Raymond, talagang posibleng mawalan ng trabaho ang mga umaamin na members sila ng LGBTQIA+ community.
“People would really, yeah, you would lose brand deals, you would lose jobs. The industry did not make it easy for people to come out. I think even today, and I think that’s why a lot of the actors that we know are still not coming out because I think today they still don’t have an easy time.
“A lot of actors still haven’t done that and it’s so unfortunate because I know how it feels and I know how uncomfortable that feels when people keep speculating, people keep asking. It’s like, why does it matter?” sabi pa ng kakambal ni Richard.
“Now that it’s 2022, people are more accepting of it. People aren’t dumb, you know what I mean? It’s like I think living your truth and living your best life would be more beneficial for you and I think your fans, people that really care, love you, and support you, would stand by you no matter what,” maganda pang paliwanag ni Raymond Gutierrez.
