For a rigidly Catholic country where divorce is still illegal, they're oddly tolerant of homosexuals and trannies. Like Thailand, they're absolutely rotten with ladyboys. I think the difference between there and the US is that their trannies still recognize that your gender is fixed at birth and they're just playing dress up.
I'm actually surprised they would air a commercial like this.
I'm actually kind of annoyed that we've reached a point where this triggers no emotional response from me. My first thought was "Oh it's just lesbians". Second thought was "The holding hands is completely unnecessary - so of course they went there." Third thought was "that twitter user is a corporate tool". Now I'm hungry.
I’m with you. Although the constant push for homosexuality in all entertainment is part of the reason I tend to not watch or read stuff from after 2014 without a recommendation and stick to older stuff mostly

My understanding of Thai ladyboys is that they're mostly impoverished men who do it for money. That's not an excuse of course, but they're not evil like Western trannies. "Suck the dick bigot" isn't really a thing there. Their suicide rates are pretty much the same as Western trannies though, especially when they age out of being able to give degenerates a sexual thrill. It's impossible to outrun reality forever on either side of the Pacific.
My wife and in-laws are filipino and this issue has confused me.
In any case, my wife has pretty much stopped watching a lot of her filipino media with a very famous tranny on. She hasn't said much about it, but I suspect the bullshit culture war here is playing a part.
It isn't like Thailand in the Philippines, because the sexual aspect of ladyboys isn't talked about. Most of the prominent gays are monogamous (or at least pretend).
I agree with the other poster who said a primary difference with the west is that the filipinos are clearly just playing dress up.
Being gay is definitely tolerated over there though.
The philippines: Where western morals were inculcated for over 300 years and yet they are still unmistakably Asian.
I suspect the reason for the sex role deviation comes from a lesser need for fighting age men due to natural protective barriers. The Philippines had many tribes and conflicts, but the vast chain of islands kept people separate to a degree.
Likewise Thailand is surrounded by mountains. Invading Thailand is presumably such a chore no one ever has -- and I don't think it is because of their military prowess.
For that reason I think sexual deviancy was always tolerated a bit more than in the west, where boys needed to be fighters to protect. Its only in the past few generations where the abundance and western influence has started to push it.

There's no way they're lesbians; they're both under 200lbs.

"Do you want to get pushed off a roof now or 41% yourself in the future?"
Hey it saves them the work of pulling them up the stairs.
On one hand it seems weird but on the other hand, both options forcefully remove them from the gene pool.
It's just a nice way of saying the penalty for homosexuality is castration.
