I am an advocate of the complete integration of Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals and Transexuals (GLBT) in the society they live in. And I believe that by sincerely showing graphic gay sex in films as well as other materials, we hasten the process of this integration.
The visual representation of gay sex may be offensive to many people. But it is a visual message needed by this advocacy. My conjecture is that when people are exposed to such images, the idea that "gay sex" is a predominantly natural act for a significant segment of our population becomes easier to comprehend for most people.
There is this popular church who declared to "love the sinner. but hate their sins." And this has led to society accepting gay men as productive individuals but reject the very idea of their sexual behavior and their sexual preferences.
Accepting us gay men as productive individuals is not enough. Society certainly benefits from our productivity. We are tax payers. And some gay men in the Philippines even controls some of the most powerful corporations in the country.
But I don't think this so called "acceptance" or tolerance accorded to us gay men is not enough.
Society has to stop forwning on our sexual preferences and behavior. Gay sex is very much a part of animal behavior albeit it is not reproductive. And whether you reject evolutionism or not, animal behavior is at the core of human behavior. And more importantly, love among the same sexes is as genuine as its straight counterpart no matter what your bible say about it.
Gay sex is normal. Gay love is genuine. And society must begin to accept it.
For these very reasons, I shall continue to promote the representation of honest, sincere and sometimes graphic gay sex in media.

before ko nabasa itong post mo, iniisip ko na bakit nga ba kailangang maging bastos o sex-oriented ng mga gay films? working in a corporate setting never made me feel uncomfortable of my sexual orientation, pero andun na yung kaya ka nila i-accept at i-respect at the same time pero andun parin yung hindi nila matanggap yung preference mo sa sex. minsan may loveteam ka pa pero hindi nila ine-entertain na aabot yun sa kama kasi hindi nila accepted yung sex act mong men itself. so yun nga i agree na for them to truly accept us they should also be aware and give respect to how we express our love.
once gay sex is accepted, then the thrill and challenge, its novelty will then be gone. what else can we be curious about? once something becomes normal, it loses its mystery, hence BORING....sex like the heteros!
