Based on his own revelations, Rustom Padilla was never confused about his sexual identity. Early in life, he knew he was gay. Showbiz handlers forced him to cover up his homosexuality and create an image of a straight guy. That's pretty clear.
An entry in manilagayguy's blog made the whole thing confusing.
"He knew of his sexual preference even when he was young, manifesting it by playfully wearing girl’s clothes which his father saw one time and which angered him of course. His mom, Eva Cariño, berated him as well, it was said. "
The grammar is passable; the construction is as dull as Rustom's coming-out moment.
1. The careless use of pronouns led to a lack of clarity. Who was angry? Was it his father because he saw Rustom in girl's clothes? Was it Rustom because his father saw him wearing girl's clothes?
2. Then, there is the case of misplaced clauses. The best option is to cut the sentence into two to avoid confusion. "He knew his sexual preference even when he was young, manifesting it by playfully wearing girl's clothes. This made his father angry."
3. The last sentence is weird. Never splice a good sentence with three commas: "His mom, Eva Cariño, berated him as well, it was said. " Simply say, "His mom Eva Cariño berated him as well."
