However, a quick walk along the now quiet streets is all one needs to nfirm the fact that gay Malate is ad. Several terlockg factors have brought about the mise of Malate as a gay space and this paper is a most attempt to provi not on this phenomenon.

Before the emergence of social workg s, cheap cemas, public parks, and bathho were among the favoure plac where gay men Manila sought out partners. Gay bars were somewhat safer plac to meet other gay men as, to my knowledge, they were very rarely raid by the police.

However, even if a gay bar was a safe choice for socialisg, there were nohels many Filipo gay men who refed to go to the venu for fear of beg “outed” or intified as gay.

In this paper’s fal sectn I suggt a further reason for the ath of gay Malate, namely, the lack of polil awarens among the majory of gay men the untry.

On the one hand, was a symbol of gay pri. However, the discrepancy between the number of those who participated the annual public Gay Pri March Malate pared to the number of people who attend pri parti gay venu after the March dit that only a relatively small number of queers Manila were prepared to be open about their sexualy.
