Miss Trans Global 2020 Mela Habijan defended her new show “Sparks Camp” amid claims that the country’s first gay dating reality show is not as diverse as it is touted to be.

“We will always anchor diversity with different characteristics, kaya meron tayong tinatawag naintersectionality. At ang intersectionality na ‘yun will always will coincide with different facets of a human being. Ito’y physical, ito’y social, ito’y karakter, kung paano siya nakikipag-interact, educational background, the people na kinalakhan niya. So, ‘yun ‘yung dapat nating makita kasi hindi lang siya rooted in the physical aspect of a person,” she said.

“Ang gusto natin ay magkaroon tayo ng isang palabas representing us. So, kung hindi tayo magko-collaborate, hindi magiging matagumpay itong palabas na nagpi-feature ng LGBTQIA+ people, tayo ring lahat ang matatalo. ‘Yung conversation na iyon, napakahalaga noon. We welcome the comments. We welcome their perspectives and as we welcome it, we learn from them,” she said.

“Ako naman, on a personal level, na-hurt ako for our campers kasi stereotype ‘yung BGC and Poblacion twinks. I think that’s stereotype,” he said.For him, it’s better to know better the campers as “once you know them, they have unique, diverse individual stories.” , and whose first interaction with a gay person is through this show. We also have a soccer player who struggles with being accepted for his bisexuality, and he’s hoping that through the show, his parents will understand his story.)
