K said that for her birthday, she decided to give her daughter a gift instead.
“Tinanong ko siya nitong birthday ko, parang biglaan, ‘gusto mo mag-out?’ Umiyak siya, sabi niya, ‘oo,’ gusto raw talaga niya. Sabi ko sa kanya, gusto mo ba manggaling sa kin, para wala nang echos echos, sabi niya oo, iyak nga siya ng iyak, so now we’re here,” K said.
(I asked her on my birthday randomly, 'do you want to come out? She cried and said 'yes,' she really wanted to. I asked her if she wanted it to come from me, she said, yes and kept crying, so now we're here.)
The 45-year-old comedian and singer said that she’s known about her daughter’s sexuality since she was in high school.
She shared that Crystal first came out to her crying after an “unfortunate event.” At the time, K said she was calm and told her daughter “anak, kahit ano pa, kahit halamang dagat ka pa, mamahalin kita.”
