90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 4 star Gabriel Paboga is the first transgender cast member in 90 Day Fiancé franchise history, and fans applaud him for wanting to be fully transparent about who he is. Gabe made the big decision to move from Miami to Colombia indefinitely, to start a new life with his girlfriend Isabel Posada. Isabel fully accepts Gabe for who he is, however, she is worried that her traditional parents may not approve of him if they learn that he is transgender. Regardless, Gabe is determined to tell them, as he does not want to hide any secrets from them.
90 Day Fiancé's Gabe and Isabel have decided to take a trip to visit Isabel's parents, where Gabe hopes to propose to Isabel. However, before doing so, Gabe is set on telling Isabel's parents that he is transgender, as he wants to be fully accepted by them. 90 Day Fiancé fans on Reddit applauded Gabe for wanting to be so honest and transparent with Isabel's family, and praised him on a post started by Reddit user jennamimi on the topic. One Reddit user commented, "Gabe has said that it is a point of transparency and integrity for him as an unashamed transperson and that is respectable."
90 Day Fiancé Fans Think Its Best Isabel's Parents Find Out From Gabe
In addition to respecting his wishes to be transparent, fans agreed that it was for the best that Isabel's parents find out from Gabe himself that he is transgender, as opposed to learning about it when the season airs. One Reddit user commented, "Surely her family would be very upset finding out on television or social media as opposed to finding out from Gabe and Isabel." Others were quick to agree, and emphasized that they respected both Gabe and Isabel for supporting one another and respecting each other's wishes.
Gabe has been incredibly open about being transgender since his introductory segment, and it plays a large part in his storyline with Isabel. Gabe recently came out as transgender to his friend Trey, and was happy to find out that Isabel's daughter Sara had no issues with him being transgender. Furthermore, Gabe revealed that much of his career is also focused on helping transgender people, as he is the owner of a business that produces underwear with built-in bulges for transgender men. Gabe's transgender identity is a big part of him, which is why it is important for him to be transparent about it with Isabel's parents.
Gabe has already emerged as one of the heroes of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 4, as he and Isabel have developed a reputation as one of the few genuine couples. It is evident that Gabe and Isabel truly love one another, and fans hope that Isabel's parents will accept them so that they can begin a happy life together in Colombia. Gabe made a huge sacrifice to move to Colombia for Isabel, and it would be gut-wrenching if the couple's relationship were to not work out. Social media commenters truly admire and respect Gabe for his courage and transparency, and want to see things go well for the Miami native.
