In a 2013 interview with Dolly Anne Carvajal for Philippine Daily Inquirer, Marquez was asked if she would fall for a gay man, she replied: "I can’t fall for someone who is attracted to the same sex! I mean, why would I?" She said, "Straight is straight. Bisexual is bisexual. Gay is gay. I have tons of gay friends and I love them! No falling in love [only]. Can’t imagine it."[1]
