"Dad, I'm Straight."

I was watching Queer as Folk Season 4 Episode 11, and there was a scene where Michael expressed his worries about Hunter--his and Ben's foster son--being straight. Those of us who watched the show know that Hunter was a hustler, with gay guys as patrons, when Mikey and Ben took him in. It was but natural for the couple to expect and assume that their Hunter boy is a gay boy. Unfortunately, as of Episode 11 Season 4, it seems that Hunter realized he is straight [poor guy, LOL]. Anyway, he was of course hesitant to tell his parents about it because they were gay.When he finally decided to spill the beans, his folks were quite in shock. In the succeeding bed scene between Mikey and Ben [oops, I meant to say the scene where they were discussing while in bed, haha, just trying desperately to titillate your senses], Michael kinda worried about Hunter. Why? He was worried because he feels it would be difficult to deal with him being straight because he--Mikey, that is--has no idea what it's like to be in a heterosexual relationship. He remarked that perhaps Hunter would be better off with straight parents. Ben countered that there's no problem with Hunter being straight--gay or straight, he's still their son.

And then it hit me.

Even though I am gay, I sometimes dream of having my own child, preferably a biological one [the probability of which is very low if not none at all, since I am really not attracted to girls], or if not, even an adopted one. But oftentimes, I wonder how I would deal with my child if he/she turns out to be straight, or turns out to be gay. If the child is straight, he/she might eventually question my sexuality. If he/she is gay, it could be cool but the problem is that he/she could go through the same agony that people like us experience. As of now, I am still unsure if I can handle having a child in the future. But I'd like to know your opinion [especially calling the attention of gay parents out there] on this: What would you like your child to be: straight or gay? Why?

Mitch Morris aka Cody Bell

Mitch Morris, who played Cody Bell, leader of the Pink Posse, in Queer as Folk, really got me hooked into him. He's so hot hot hot!!! By the way, is he gay or straight in real life? I searched the net about him and found out that he has two other gay-themed shows.:)

Guy Gazing in KFC

Who needs dessert when you have all the time to gaze at a very beautiful man while having your lunch?

I was at KFC España last Saturday and I noticed this very cute service crew. I couldn't take my eyes off him. Luckily, he cleaned the table which was northwest from my position, with me facing north. That gave me a good look at his name badge. His name was MACK.

Then it was time to have a refill of the gravy. As if fate was on my side, he happened to be the only crew available, since the others were upstairs. So, who else am I gonna call but him? Hehe. He came over and said he would just bring a new cup of gravy, since it seemed they don't have a pitcher of gravy.

And so, as I continued with my lunch, I also continued looking at him every once in a while. Sayang hanggang ganun lang. Hehe. What a wonderful meal!

Sigh

It's been a while since my last entry. I was too busy with work this past week. I really don't have anything to say now. I still have much work to do. By the way, the election day is coming near. Vote wisely, my friends! Teka, sino ba talaga si Wisely? Hahaha!

My Wishlist

While on my way to work, let me list down my wishes, all of which I hope would be answered. Here it goes:


1. Good health;
2. My own laptop computer;
3. Salary increase to have better chances of buying a laptop;
4. Broadband internet connection at home;
5. A nice, attractive, and smart me;
6. A handsome, delicious [hehe, talagang delicious pa eh], discreet, sweet, loving, and loyal boyfriend who stays;
7. An accepting family, so that I can be comfortable being the real me;
8. An accepting working environment for the same reason as in number 7;
9. An accepting group of friends for basically the same reason; and
10. A new place I could call my own.

So there. :-)

Can Joker Arroyo Give Hope to the LGBT Community?

Iboboto ko na s'ya. I will vote for him now (well, I mean on the May 14 elections).

This morning, on my way to work, the radio was tuned in to the radio program of Joe Taruc, and he was interviewing Senator Joker Arroyo who is aspiring to be reelected to the Philippine Senate. Among other things that he was saying, what caught my attention (alright, I was already listening intently...) was his opinion on the refusal of the COMELEC to grant Ang Ladlad's petition for accreditation as a candidate in the party list elections for the House of Representatives. He said that the COMELEC should reconsider its decision to junk the petition of Ang Ladlad. He said that the party list system was created in order to give the marginalized sectors an opportunity to participate in lawmaking. Ang Ladlad represents Filipino gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders, and the LGBT sector is undoubtedly marginalized. He also said that Prof. Danton Remoto, the head of Ang Ladlad, is an intellectual, being a professor in a leading university in the country, and has a potential of being a good lawmaker.

I have long been wanting to find time to write my opinion about COMELEC's refusal to accredit Ang Ladlad. I will try to write it when I have more time, but allow me to say that I'm saddened by Ang Ladlad's non-accreditation simply because it allegedly failed to prove national membership, among other reasons. I will have to read more about this matter so that I can write an informed opinion. But in the case of the LGBT community, whose members may or may not be out of the closet but undoubtedly scattered all around the country, do we really need to prove national membership?

I hope the Party List Law can be interpreted as allowing national representation as sufficient compliance with the requirement of national membership.

For now, I would just hold on to the hope that Senator Arroyo gets reelected and that he makes it one of his causes to fight for the rights of the LGBT community, just as he fought for other human rights.

It would have been better if the COMELEC had not disqualified Remoto's candidacy for Senator, on the ground that he is a nuisance candidate. I think he would have had a good chance of making it to the Senate.

Black Saturday

And here I am alone in the house, blogging and surfing the net, visiting the g4m forum. I still have so much to do later. My entire family's hearing mass right now. Am I bad? I just don't want to go tonight. I'll just go to mass tomorrow, Easter Sunday.
