<p>Even with a supportive community, it still takes a lot of courage for many members of the LGBTQIA+ to come out in the open. Many still struggle with the fear of being judged and being vulnerable.</p><p>On her 24th birthday, actress-model Klea Pineda celebrated in an extra special way by speaking her truth.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp9vlyhpLcb/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A1066208.300000012%2C%22ls%22%3A278707.59999996424%2C%22le%22%3A278961.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="856" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>“My 24th birthday is extra special since I finally mustered up the courage to come out to the world as my true authentic self. Masasabi ko na ito na ang pinakamatapang na desisyon na nagawa ko sa buong buhay ko,” began her post on her Instagram account. “I want the world to know that I am a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community.” Klea decided that living her truth was worth it.</p><p>“I know not everyone will understand and appreciate this decision,” she admitted. “But throughout the years, I’ve learned to prioritize the things that give joy and meaning to my life, and revealing my sexuality to the world is a huge part of it. She also took the opportunity to reach out to others who are still in the process of dealing with their sexuality.</p><p>“By doing this, I hope to inspire and empower others who are still struggling to come into terms with their sexuality,” she said.</p><p>While she admitted that coming out may be difficult and scary, she also reassured them that there are many who will support and accept them.</p><p>“Alam ko mahirap at nakakatakot, but please know na walang mali sa atin at walang kulang sa atin kahit pa magpakatotoo tayo,” Klea addressed the LGBTQIA+ community. “Marami man ang manghusga, mas marami pa rin ang tatanggap at magmamahal sa’yo nang buong-buo. Just be the person that your younger self would be proud of!”</p><p>Klea added that her being gay doesn’t mean that she is a different person. She said her sexuaity as an important part of her identity, but does not want to be defined solely by it.</p><p>“My sexuality is just one aspect of my life and it won’t stop me from chasing after my dreams,” explained Klea. “I am still the same Klea that you loved and supported throughout the years. The only difference now is I can proudly say that I’m gay!” As she hit 24 years, she claimed her power and chose to live her life without fear.</p><p>“From now on, I want to live my life fearlessly,” stated Klea. “Sana samahan nyo ako sa paggawa ng sarili kong kwento na alam kong tunay na magpapasaya sa akin.”</p><p>“Let’s spread love and empowerment, everyone,” she added. “And always remember, #LoveIsLove!”</p><div><style rel="stylesheet">
