Dahil dito, nakiusap si Miel sa online site na i-take down o tanggalin ang kanilang post.
Sabi ni Miel sa kanyang Instagram Stories noong June 18: “This is incorrect. I am not a lesbian, nor have I claimed to be.
“I stated specifically on the post that I am queer—and unless stated otherwise don’t just make assumptions that I’m a lesbian based on the fact that I came out or that I held a pride flag.
“Please inform yourselves. If I was a lesbian I would have said I was a lesbian.”
Diin pa niya, magkaiba ang “lesbian” sa pagiging “queer.”
Aniya, “I am queer. Queer ≠ lesbian. If you’re going to inform people, inform yourself first. and at least give my post a proper read-through before making a post about it.
"It’s pride month. If you’re going to make a post reporting about a person’s whole IDENTITY, I should hope that you get it right. please. There are more identities than lesbian and gay lol.”
Dagdag ni Miel, hindi niya kailangan pang ipangalandakan kung ano ang specifics ng kanyang attraction at identity.
“I also don’t NEED to talk about the boundaries and extents and specifics of my attraction/identity.
“It’s extremely personal and the fact that it’s something I need to clarify despite the including the statement that I am queer in my post is just upsetting. Identity is personal and if you’re going to report on it, please stick to the source lmaoo.”
Suportado ng mga magulang ni Miel na sina Sharon Cuneta at Senator Kiko Pangilinan ang paglantad niya ng kanyang gender preference.
