Ian Veneracion vocally supporting daughter touches numerous hearts.
IAN VENERACION – This is the reaction and what Ian Veneracion has said upon sharing his daughter’s coming out as a lesbian in Magandang Buhay.
Former matinee idol Ian Veneracion has a daughter who came out to be more interested to girls than boys. Dids is his only daughter and confessed that she is gay to him when she was just then 16 years old. Accordingly, she came to him teary-eyed while he was fixing motorcycles then.
She came to him and told him she need to tell something. Veneracion shared, “Sabi ko, ‘What? Sit down.’ Sabi niya, ‘I like girls.’ Tapos sabi ko sa kanya, ‘Me also I like girls.’ So parang nagtataka siya, sabi niya, ‘It’s okay?’ Sabi ko, ‘Yes. Just don’t be ever apologetic about it, not even to me.’ Sabi ko, ‘You can be whoever you want to be and I have full support.'”
Accordingly, he already saw it when she was still a kid and even described her as “macho”. What touched many people more is when Ian said that we only have one life and living it being apologetic to who you wanted to be is such a waste.
Even his wife also supports their daughter and the actor shared that what her wife wanted is their daughter’s happiness. Their family is in full support of Dids and whoever she chooses to be.
Watch the video below:
Here are some touched comments from Twitter as the actor previously trended on social media:
“… being a supportive dad to his gay daughter is the energy that I needed today”
“… having & knowing that your parents love you regardless of your choices inspires u to live”
“… I hope all father/parents accept their children how he accepted his.”
“… Sana all kayang tumanggap at sumuporta kung anong preference ng anak nila. “
“… In this house, we stan dads who defend their gay daughters”
