Sa Instagram nitong nakaraang Sabado, June 24, 2023, ipinagsigawan niya ang pakikiisa sa kinabibilangang komunidad.
Mensahe ni Miel (published as is), “happy #pridemonth [revolving hearts emoji] this month i’m celebrating: queerness, identity, sexuality, love, and people. the first pride was a riot—always remember.
“though pride is a time for celebration and togetherness and is an occasion for happiness for the community, we must also remember that there is still so much we are fighting for as a community in this country.”
Binanggit din ni Miel ang ilang mga isyu sa Pride community lalo na ang karapatan nila sa lipunan.
Aniya, “the rights to safety, the rights to marry who we want to marry, are still heavily debated on by people who make real shots that affect real people.
“now is the month to show who we are, to show that we exist, and that nobody will silence us or make us feel ashamed in ourselves for being who we are.
"i am here. i exist. i have been here. i have existed. i am a queer filipino who is proud to be a member of this beautiful, long-standing community.”
May mensahe naman siya sa mga tago pa at nag-out nang queers katulad niya.
Aniya, “to my closeted queers, to my out queers, to my allies, have a safe, happy, and napaka-bonggang-bonggang pride month! i love you all.
"love and identity have no boundaries, and exist in no binary. as long as you are happy and keeping other people around you safe, you are valid and you are loved. mabuhay mga bakla!!”

Matapos siyang mag-come out noon, marami ang nagsabing "lesbian" si Miel, kaya nilinaw niyang “queer” siya at hindi "lesbian."
