On February 14, AQ Prime artist Leandre Adams revealed that he identifies as pansexual.
At the media conference for their digital film Baka Sakali, Adams said he gets attracted to someone’s personality.
“Ang sa akin naman, well, una dahil nga sa ginawa namin ‘to at wala naman naging problema sa akin ‘to that I’m a pansexual. Siguro naman, tayong lahat naman open sa mga sexuality. You’re open to anybody, kung di ka na-iinlove sa gender ng tao kung di sa tao mismo, sa personality niya.”
He also addressed those questioning other people’s sexuality, especially after doing Boys Love projects.
“Ang sa akin naman, wala okay lang. Wala– hindi ko siya mina-mind kung ano pong sinasabi nila kasi kagaya nung kay Drei nga bago siya nag start sa showbiz, nasa pageant na siya, ako naman nasa modeling industry naman ako.
“I do runways abroad and here sa Philippines and hindi siya bago. Lalo na sa akin like the way I dress, pinuputol ko kasi ‘yung stereotypes na sa mga male models sa Philippines na dapat kung male model ganito ‘yung suot mo.”
Adams then admitted that he experienced getting courted by gay men.
“Mayroon din po talaga.
“Pero, mayroon po talagang nanligaw pero hindi ko sila inaano.”
He also voiced his thoughts on people falling in love regardless of gender.
“Wala pong kaso naman. Gaya po ng sinabi ko kanina, mas nagkakaintindihan nga po, nagiging mas madali actually, at hindi naman po ako nagko-close doors na magkaroon ng ganon.”
As for their film, Adams stars in Baka Sakali with Drei Arias, Seon Quintos, and April Gustillo.
Directed by Alejandro ‘Bong’ Ramos, Baka Sakali is currently streaming via the AQ Prime app.
