Louis Santos - Filipino netizens are so uneducated with regards to LGBT issues. Some articles don’t refer to her by the proper pronouns, or would only use ‘she’ and ‘her’ in their posts until revealing that she was born male. One article mistakenly referred to her as lesbian instead of trans. Some would comment about how she is merely ‘ungrateful for the anatomy God gave her’. Others would call her overrated because she ‘still displays a few prominent masculine features’. Only a few came to her defense.
Lars Pacheco - Miss. Pacheco was one of my favorites throughout the competition. As a natural, real beauty, she gave us ‘girl’ all night and never disappointed. Her fashions were jaw-dropping. She is a stunningly –yet simplicity real- beauty, and surprisingly articulate in both English and Tagalog. She changed the game for future Miss. Gay contestants, as she won, without much of the ‘enhancements’ which many of the Beauty Queens possess. I also give huge credit to her fashion designers, make-up and stylists team. Glittery jewels were matched with matching glittery heels…which was one of my high-score points.” -Kareem Jackson, The Philippines Magazine International, US Executive Publisher
Kevin Balot - As a child, one of the worst hurdles Kevin had to face was not being accepted by her family. "Rejection from my family, especially from my dad, taught me many things, like the need to be strong for myself," she shares. And that she did. By channeling all her energy to doing what she wanted to do the most, which was to join beauty pageants, she succeeded.
