Sebastian Castro comes out, reveals gay in social media

Social media is the platform Sebastian Castro used to come out his sexual orientation. Unlike other celebrities who made a big public announcement about their sexuality in show-biz oriented talk shows on TV, magazines and in awards nights, Sebastian Castro turned to social media to reveal what he truly is.



"I am gay," Sebastian told the queens of Becky Nights including Divine Lee and I think many were surprised about the announcement although these gays already knew of that fact even before the big reveal.

He is known to be open with his sexuality in gay community in the Philippines, but not to all of his social media followers numbering in thousands on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.

He is cute, bubbly and gay. These are the qualities that many closeted gay Pinoys are hoping for a celebrity to be a role model. The irony of this is that Sebastian Castro is not even Filipino. Though he now resides in the Philippines and calls the country his home ( a second home, I think), his involvement in the LGBT community in Philippine entertainment is still ironic.

Young gay Filipinos who are straight-acting need a role model who is gay and straigt-acting, and yes, with a positive attitude. Rustom Padilla would have fit the description before but he relied more on his feminine side to show what he is. And yes, many gays frowned upon his transformation.

I am impressed though when Sebastian Castro made a good comment about Rustom Padilla, who is now more known as BB Gandanghari. And oh, by the way, Rustom is dead. BB Gandanghari is now taking over the feminine mold of Rustom's body.

Whatever his nationality is, Sebastian Castro would be a good model for Filipino gays. I am just hoping that he will last longer on show business. After all, what I learned in the media is that if you have the guts, you can get the glory. 

Though others would accuse Sebastian as a famewhore, I'd say it is his life and it is how he wants it to be. I am not saying he is that. It's just that I understand that you have to work hard in getting the fame even though many people would accuse you of overdoing it just to achieve the fame.

The should-be gay bars in Cebu

Gay bars in Cebu are known to be mostly strip clubs with young men called go-go boys dancing provocatively to win the hearts of their audience.  Macho dancer is a more popular term for a go-go boy in the Philippines. They are mostly young with muscular or toned bodies and attractive. The handsome lads of the crop of macho dancers get the most wow from the audience while those who manage to impress have the bodies or the "asset". But there is irony in having these strip clubs known as gay bars in the Philippines, especially in Cebu. A gay bar should be a hangout place for gays, not for supposedly gay yet straight dancers who cater to gay and women clientele for a night or a "short-time". It is mostly seen as a male-whore club than a place for hook-ups.  With the relabeling of gay bars in Cebu into male entertainment clubs, the public would now have an idea what kind of club they want to go for hook-ups. Because really, desperate old gay men go to gay bar

Looking Back 2017 and Striving for More Willpower this 2018

Image
The past year 2017 was an interesting one. Personally, I went through a roller coaster of changes, from the business side to the personal preference in music and artists. There were also ups and downs that the last quarter of the year was spent by contemplating on things which I should have done but I was too complacent to do.  The positives on that year include knowing BTS and having to learn about a fandom that has gained traction in the entertainment world. But it is mostly about BTS, a Kpop boyband that has dominated the world through their music and performances. I don't know why I got hooked on them. It was like an epiphany of sorts because suddenly I have become more interested in music that ever before. So, I think I consider it a positive because it helps me to be culturally-adept, music-wise though I am still in the process of learning more. Okay, the positives are more on BTS. But my site also tackles about Boys Love series. I am thankful that during Aug

What the Bangtan Boys (BTS) think about the Philippines

Image
BTS are among the hottest Kpop boy bands in the planet. And the number of fans in the Philippines is also among the highest in the world. To show how popular BTS is in the Philippines, Twitter Philippines has placed the BTS-related hashtag #EpilogueInManila as the 5th most popular hashtag trending in the Philippines for Twitter's 10 years of existence. The hashtag #EpilogueInManila happened in 2016 when BTS held one of the largest concerts at Mall of Asia Arena. To think that the hashtag is more popular during the Papal visit in 2016 proves the potential power of BTS in the Philippines in entertainment stardom. BTS also held the Wings tour in Manila this year at May for two days on May 6-7. Prior to the concert in Mall of Asia, many reported that the Kpop boy group arrived in Manila earlier at May 1 after their concert in Jakarta, days before their MOA Wings concert. The speculation of the early arrival may have something to do with the shooting of BTS Summer Package 20
