THE DEATH OF GAY MALATE: ONE-TIME GAY CAPAL OF THE PHILIPP

The Malate district of Metropolan Manila was the gay pal of the cy, ed of the entire archipelagic Philipp, om the 1970s until the early part of this century. However, a quick walk along the now quiet streets is all one needs to nfirm the fact that gay Malate is ad.

MANILA’S GOLN GAYS PROVE YOU’RE NEVER TOO OLD TO BE A QUEEN

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. Philippe gay culture blossomed the 1970s durg the years of the Ferdand Mars dictatorship. Popular disurs on homosexualy began appearg, 1 exploratns of homosexual life formed them Philippe films, and gay bars 2 like Co Banana boomed the Malate area.

THE ‘GOLN GAYS’ RETURN TO THE STAGE THE PHILIPP

However, was only the 1990s that a polilly nsc gay and lbian movement thrived the untry, and the cy that wnsed all the ton Philippe Lbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) history was Manila. In the early to mid-1990s, the tersectn of Adriati and Nakpil streets Malate transformed to a by entertament district terg to both gays and straights.

3 One of the first gay venu along Nakpil Street was Blue Café, which showsed drag performanc on Wednday nights. However, now all the gay tablishments along the Orosa-Nakpil tersectn, save for one, the Che’lu Bar, are gone. Datg s and apps like Pla Romeo and Grdr have eaten up the cisg market and, the Philipp, they have provid gays wh a safer way to fd partners.

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 ntext, virtual munitns technologi have bee a viable solutn to the problems posed by the dangers of physil spac and the self-acceptance issu hntg non-scene gays. The most subscribed ee mobile phone app and gay datg se the Philipp is perhaps Pla Romeo (PR).

Onle cisg for partners is an ial and st-efficient choice and whout doubt has impacted trimentally on the earngs of gay bars, many of which have subsequently gone out of bs. Another factor to nsir the rise and fall of Malate as a gay space is the changg mographics of men who equent gay bars.

Different bars attract ctomers om different socenomic backgrounds, and gay bars Manila are class-stratified, wh some terg to upper class and others to lower middle class and workg class gay men. The last has seen exponential growth of the bs procs outsourcg (BPO) dtry the Philipp, 5 and gay men nstute a signifint percentage of the workforce this burgeong service dtry.

The BPO gay men, mostly ll-centre agents, nstute a sizeable proportn of the market for gay bars and rtrants.

Geographic lotn a ngted part of the cy and the changg nature of work of the target market of gay bars are therefore further factors that have nmned gay Malate to extctn. 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.

A GAY GUI TO MANILA

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. If the bar-goers had joed the annual public Gay Pri March the event would have had more participants. What did “gay pri” fact mean to the men who only went to the post-Pri March parti anised by the gay bars?

While “gay pri” may clu personal affirmatn of one’s gay inty as well as acknowledgment of the gay muny’s existence and of a sense of belongg to , I ntend that the dimensns of polil will and polil actn were missg the gay parti and Malate general. Gay pri the Malate gay bar scene was rced to a mere mercial enterprise void of polil ntent or meang. It was a place for gay men who wanted to selectively e out and yet at the same time to also rema the closet.

Paradoxilly, the lure of g out, that is, of publicly stagg gayns Malate, such as gay pri march and parti, rted on the possibily of returng to the privacy of the closet that the mercial gay venu the Malate area signified. 6 Radil sexual polics the Philipp was not possible bee the majory of the patrons at Malate’s gay bars were not terted gay and lbian , nor they did they re about LGBT history.
