It's great that the University of the Philippines took the lead and elected a transgender as their Student Council chairperson. That's a first for the university. Of course, there are many gay people in our government, many of them are just in the closet. I guess it's easier for local officials to come out as gay since everybody knows what they do in their own city or province or barangay. But the national level, like a senator, or vice-president, or even president, the going would be a bit tough since we're a Catholic country and you know what the priests say about us!
Anyhow, we wish Heart all the best during his tenure and I hope it will inspire more leaders of the gay persuasion to come out and be counted!
