K Brosas' daughter Crystal on coming out as a lesbian: 'Being gay is not wrong'

K Brosas' daughter Crystal came out to the public as a lesbian on her mother's 45th birthday. She did it in a tell-all video, with her mother at her side.

On Instagram, Crystal dedicated a post on the matter, saying "Being in the closet for years was hard. There were lots of struggles, challenges, and pain that molded me into the person I am now." 

According to Crystal, it affected her music, how she interacted with others, as well as her love life. 

She admitted to having "an inner argument with myself in high school," asking herself if what she felt was wrong. "Maybe I should try [it] with boys," she admitted to considering back then.  

Crystal shared she tried to push herself to liking boys but it didn't work. 

"And at the end, I realize that being gay will never be choice. You should NEVER force yourself to be straight because being gay IS NOT WRONG in the first place," she wrote adamantly.

Crystal had an unexpected chance to come out to her mother three years ago, on July 7, 2017. 

"That time, I cried and she accepted me with open arms. No judgment, no doubts —only unconditional love. And it was one of the best days of my life," she shared.

"And now, look at me. Posting this in public. Letting the world know the real me with my mom by my side," Crystal wrote.

Being in the closet for years was hard. There were lots of struggles, challenges, and pain that molded me into the person I am now. It affected my music creation, human interaction, and also with my lovelife. There was an inner argument with myself in high school—where I told myself, “Is this wrong? Maybe I should try with boys.” Believe me, I tried. But it was not working. I was being the person that I am not just to push myself to boys. And at the end, I realize that being gay will never be choice. You should NEVER force yourself to be straight because being gay IS NOT WRONG in the first place. During college, I had an unexpected chance to come out to my Mom. July 7, 2017. Although she knew firsthand, it was me who confirmed to her that it was true. That time, I cried and she accepted me with open arms. No judgment, no doubts—only unconditional love. And it was one of the best days of my life. And now, look at me. Posting this in public. Letting the world know the real me with my Mom by my side. No more hiding, no more pain, and no more pretending. Wala na kong dapat katakutan. Dahil ngayon, ang sarap, ang saya, at ang ginhawa sa pakiramdam na tapos na. Nanalo na ko. Masaya na ko. Happy birthday to you, Mommy. Thank you so much for giving this gift to me—while it should be you receiving it. I would never trade you for anyone else. My happiness is just beyond words. Salamat dahil ikaw ang naging nanay ko. Mahal na mahal kita. And now, I can proudly say that I’m a LESBIAN. Along with this, I will use my voice for the unheard in the LGBT community. I will use my platform in raising awareness and educating the people with the rights we should be granted. Hindi lang to para sakin, kundi para sa aking komunidad. Laban ninyo ay laban ko. At ang kaligayahan ninyo ay kaligayahan ko din. Love is love. Hands up, my fellow androgynous lesbians! ?????‍???????? For the full video, click here: https://youtu.be/i7J9Opo06cQ

In the tell-all video, K revealed asking her daughter if "gusto mo ba galing sa 'kin para wala ng echos-echos? Sabi niya oo. Iyak lang siya nang iyak."

For Crystal, there is finally "no more hiding, no more pain, and no more pretending."

"Wala na kong dapat katakutan. Dahil ngayon, ang sarap, ang saya, at ang ginhawa sa pakiramdam na tapos na. Nanalo na ko. Masaya na ko," she wrote.

In the latter part of her post, Crystal thanked her mother for giving this gift to her.

"I would never trade you for anyone else. My happiness is just beyond words. Salamat dahil ikaw ang naging nanay ko. Mahal na mahal kita," she wrote.

Crystal said she can finally "proudly say that I’m a LESBIAN. Along with this, I will use my voice for the unheard in the LGBT community."

Given this, Crystal said she will use her platform "in raising awareness and educating the people with the rights we should be granted."

"Hindi lang to para sakin, kundi para sa aking komunidad. Laban ninyo ay laban ko. At ang kaligayahan ninyo ay kaligayahan ko din," she continued.

"Love is love. Hands up, my fellow androgynous lesbians!" she ended her note.

Happy for you Crystal! And Kudos, K! You're the gift. — LA, GMA News
