About Boracay

If this place is Hostile towards LGBT, then non of the rich movie stars in Hollywood would even think of visiting this place. When I say rich, I mean Billionaires and Millionaires, that even a fraction of their money can probably buy the whole island itself. Now, they say that this beach is world famous? World famous for what! for bashing LGBTs? This narrow mindedness that's going on around this island is nothing but hypocrisy. Women are allowed to wear pasties and dental floss on the beach, while men has to wear a skirt? What kind of a screwed up society do they have there. If for anything, they should turn this island, that is a size of a "Booger", into an all adult nudist island, where everybody is welcome - straight or LGBT alike.
