DINIPENSAHAN ni Ian Veneracion ang kanyang anak na si Deirdre, na miyembro ng LGBTQIA+ community, laban sa mga bashers.
Sa Instagram ay ipinost ni Ian ang larawan ni Dids na mula sa Pride Month feature ng fashion magazine na Preview.
Sey ni Ian sa caption: “Seriously, let’s all just cut the bullshit. People should be honored and respected for their compassion, courage, and integrity–not for the choices they make in the privacy of their bedrooms.”
“Proud of my daughter for embodying these values. Who she loves is her business,” dagdag ni Ian.
Matatandaan na isiniwalat ni Ian sa isang panayam na nagtapat sa kanya ang anak ukol sa kasarian nito noong 16 anyos pa lamang ito.
“Sabi niya ‘Daddy, I have to tell you something.’ 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’,” ani Ian.
“Natawa siya. Sabi niya, ‘You know?’ Sabi ko, ‘Oo naman, bata ka pa ang macho mo na.’ So alam ko na dati,” dagdag ng aktor.
