Michelle Dee opened up about her personal journey of coming out as bisexual during her appearance at the LOV3LABAN 2025 Pride celebration at UP Diliman.
After performing her single “Reyna,” which she dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community, the Kapuso beauty queen and Miss Universe Philippines 2023 winner shared a heartfelt message.
“Before I came out two years ago, I thought I would never be able to do it,” she admitted. “But when I finally did, I found a new support system—one that doesn’t judge and truly understands.”
Michelle celebrated the spirit of unity at the event, saying, “Look at us now. Strength in numbers. We’re here together, celebrating the community we love.”
Adding a fun twist to the celebration, Michelle and actress Rhian Ramos surprised fans by recreating their dramatic fight scene from the fantasy series “Sang’gre.”
Michelle’s decision to publicly come out in 2023 inspired many, including singer Klarisse de Guzman, who shared that seeing Michelle inside the “Pinoy Big Brother” house gave her the courage to come out as well.
Pride Month continues to serve as a vital platform for visibility, acceptance, and empowerment within the LGBTQ+ community.
