GAY/BL/GL (PHILIPP)

Sengaja aku nak tengok mam mana gayanya adik aku yang sorang tu bila tengok body aku berpakaian sendat.

Uwi na daw sya sa Cagayan kabasan.

A fashn publitn has lled “unapologetilly gay. “2gether: The Seri” is a Boys’ Love show, a kd of fictnal media that picts homoerotic relatnships between men. There are, of urse, ma many LGBT-themed shows such as “My Hband’s Lover, ” “The Rich Man Dghter, ” “Dty Rose, ” not to mentn the many gay-themed episos of ABS-CBN and GMA-7’s drama anthology shows.

GAYMELAYU STORI

While BL shows do prent male-to-male relatnships, n be argued that they do not necsarily reprent gay relatnships.

Some BL shows ually don’t tackle the sexualy of their male characters eher; men love wh other men don’t intify themselv as gay but as people love wh another person regardls of genr. The characters of BL media are almost always mascule, wh effemate gays and trans women often picted as villas or ic relief.

CARA MEMIKAT PRIA GAY

Many crics of the genre say BL fetishiz gay sex and relatnships and imply that only mascule-actg gay men are sirable.

MGA POY, 'GAY IENDLY' NA NGA BA?

Characters now intify themselv as gay or bisexual, for example. But BL shows don’t always show the realy and nuanc of gay liv and relatnships bee they have to settle for a versn of that’s palatable to a wi (mostly female) dience.

Th, they are not necsarily gay shows. BL is a genre self; is not jt romantic fictn that featur gay relatnships.

Viewers, gay or straight, want to experience the kd of love the show prents — simple, sweet, ually unemcumbered by realy — even though ’s mostly far om possible. Beg gay is hard; beg a gay relatnship is hard. They want to see male-to-male relatnship on screen that’s not burned by the tradn and baggage of real-life romance, heteronormative or homoerotic, fictnal or otherwise.

MENGHISAP BATANG GAY BAR GILER

What’s apparent here is that, regardls of how you fe what BL is and why lol dienc seem to crave for the kds of stori, there is room for reprentatn of gay love lol media. The gay elements are subtle; a chilld watchg the show may not notice . And this isn’t even the show’s only gay-themed story.

GAY BRONDONG

Which is surprisg; the US versn of the show is heavily eded to remove all suggtns of gay relatnships. “Ang swerte ng mga batang bakla ngayon damg BL seri dati nag tiya-tiyaga ako sa Hama-Kimi at Coffee Prce, ” one Twter er said recently.

“Coffee Prce, ” adapted om a novel of the same name, pretty much has the same premise: Choi Han-gyul (played by Gong Yoo) hir Go Eun-chan (played by Yoon Eun-hye), who he thks is a guy, to pretend to be his gay lover to pe the bld dat arranged by his grandmother. The 2012 lol adaptatn of “Coffee Prce, ” which stars Aljur Abreni and Kris Bernal, don’t sistep the gay them of the story, too. It is also nsired as the “first yaoi piece Thai film cycle” by Thai scholars, though many movi the untry have featured gay them.

CERA GAY KU

BL them and gay subton are also evint non-BL Japane media, employg what many fans nsir as queerbag — a marketg technique where creators hts at same sex romance or LGBT reprentatn their shows or stori whout actually pictg . ” offers some light for dienc who want to see pretty (animated) boys seemgly attracted to each other, don’t do anythg wh the gay subtext. Those who want to see actual gay reprentatn anime n watch the popular 2016 anime “Yuri on Ice, ” an ice skatg sports anime where the gay uple is non.

And how n they navigate life as teenagers when they do e out as a gay uple? The seri is light, though the world they live isn’t a gay utopia; Phun and Noh, who intify as straight, both stggle to e to terms wh their homosexual feelgs.

CARA MEMIKAT PRIA GAY

While the characters of “Ossan’s Love” do not necsarily intify themselv as gay, they don’t necsarily shy away om the issu and reali of sexualy.

When the eventual gay uple of the show had to reveal their relatnship to a real tate client, the reactn they got is vlent shock. Comg out as gay has real life repurcsns beyond beg teased by peers. Other popular and acclaomed gay-themed tl om Japan wh mature gay characters are “Kō Nani Tabeta?

), a slice of life seri about a gay uple, and “My Brother’s Hband. ” Type, a iendly but homophobic boy, gets Tharn, an out gay man, as a llege roommate. But don’t be mistaken: even wh the prence of gay characters and homoerotic romance, “Mga Batang Poz” is not a BL.
