Ogie Diaz Weighs In on Heidi Mendoza’s Position on Same-S*x Marriage
OGIE DIAZ – The vlogger and talent manager stirred debate by sharing his opinion on the reaction to Heidi Mendoza’s opposition to same-s*x marriage.
In his Instagram Stories, Ogie questioned why the LGBTQIA+ community seemed to focus solely on this issue when choosing political candidates, suggesting that it might divert attention from other crucial matters like corruption and poverty. He raised the question of whether it is better to support a candidate who may favor same-s*x marriage but could be potentially corrupt, urging voters to assess a candidate’s platform and integrity as a whole.
Ogie’s comments appeared to be in response to backlash against Mendoza, whose opposition to same-s*x marriage had caused some within the LGBTQIA+ community to distance themselves from her. He expressed his belief that some individuals were being “overly dramatic” in rejecting Mendoza based only on this stance. Ogie also pointed out that for those who are not in a relationship or who prioritize personal advocacies, it might not be wise to judge a candidate purely on their stance on same-s*x marriage.
In his posts, Ogie emphasized that Mendoza’s platform focuses on pressing societal issues, such as fighting corruption, reducing poverty, and managing public funds effectively. He encouraged voters to consider these priorities as important factors when evaluating a candidate. His message to those who view same-s*x marriage as a top priority was clear: “Pero kung priority nyo ang kandidatong papabor sa same s3x marriage, then don’t vote for her.”
Ogie Diaz has always been vocal on various social and political topics, and while he supports LGBTQIA+ rights, his latest comments highlight his belief that single-issue politics should not overshadow broader, more pressing concerns that affect society as a whole.
