Charice, the Filipina pop star, cleared the air about her sexual orientation in an interview with Boy Abunda on The Buzz. “Opo, tomboy po ako [Yes, I am homosexual],” she said. She told Abunda that she is indeed a lesbian amid speculations about her sexuality. She also apologized to her family and fans who are disappointed in her coming and thanked those for their support.
Fans may remember Charice her brief but brilliantly bitch appearance as Sunshine Corazon in the second season of Glee. On the show she showed of her beautifully commanding vocals with a rendition of “Listen.” She was most recently seen as a judge on the Philippine version of The X-Factor.

Whoa. I only know her through Glee, but I understand how big she is in her native country. That took a lot of courage.

Her net worth is now something like $24mn
That’s enough for a lifetime. The fans who leave her wont hurt her too much. Hopefully this new openness will gain her more fans than she loses.

Thank you for coming out. Every person helps. I also appreciate your Tagalog spoken so succinctly and slowly. I was able to understand nearly a third of it. Good luck and stay true.
