Coco Martin offended the LGBT Community because of his “di kabaklaan” statement

Ang Probinsyano actor Coco Martin stated that “ang hindi pagkibo ay hindi kabaklaan” amid the alleged giving birth of Julia Montes and this offended the members of the LGBTQ community.

Last year, it was rumored that Julia was pregnant and it was alleged that the father of her baby is Coco.

There was a part where Coco Martin stated: “Ang hindi ko pagkibo at hindi pagpatol sa mga bagay na hindi kauunlad ng ating bayan ay hindi kabaklaan at kaduwagan may kanya kanya tayong buhay at tayo ang may dedesisyon kung pano natin patatakbuhin ito at sa aking palagay wala akong nagawang masama sayo kung sino kaman hindi ko kailangan ang mga masasakit na opinion mo!”

Entertainment columnist Jojo Gabinete stated that those who got dismayed by this statement of the actor felt discriminated.

It is because there are gays who have great contributions in society and those who have shown courage and conviction in the midst of difficult times.

Gabinete added that there are gays who are more true to their words than straight men.

On the other hand, the columnist said that they believe that Coco has no intention of judging the members of the LGBTQ community.

The actor could have used the phrase “hindi kabaklaan” as an idiomatic expression to express his thoughts.

According to the article, some people may have misinterpreted that part of the statement of the Kapamilya actor.
