In his posts, Diaz questioned the singular focus on the same-s3x marriage issue as a litmus test for political support.

He rhetorically asked if it would be preferable to support a candidate who is in favor of same-s3x marriage but potentially corrupt, implying a need for a more holistic evaluation of a candidate's platform and integrity.

Mama Ogs expressed his view that some members of the LGBTQIA+ community were being “overly dramatic” or OA (overly acting) in their apparent dismissal of Mendoza solely based on her stance on marriage equality.

He further commented, seemingly directed at individuals who are currently single, suggesting that prioritizing same-s3x marriage support above all else might be misplaced.

The prominent showbiz personality urged a deeper consideration of what constitutes a “correct” candidate.

He argued that the focus should extend beyond a candidate's alignment with personal advocacies, emphasizing the importance of their commitment to broader societal issues.
