Ian Roberts talks about being out personally and professionally

"I really think that being gay is like this wonderful gift, you get to see the world as it really is. There's not all those constraints that straight people are brought up to believe. When you family and friends learn to accept your sexuality, they gain from it as well. It's a real gift."

Wearing a tight-fitting Buzz Lightyear costume on a Los Angeles movie set, Ian Roberts is a long ways away from his days as a professional rugby player in Australia.

He calmly does take after take of a scene taking place at a Halloween party for the romantic comedy Saltwater where, ironically, it is his love interest (played by the film's writer, Ronnie Kerr) who is dressed as a rugby player.

Disneyland in the Philippines

Mickey Mouse greets tourists at the Tokyo Disneyland

This is great, but I fear that most Filipinos (myself included, I guess) may not afford the entrance fees to the theme park.

A one-way bus ride from Manila to Olongapo costs around 210 pesos. That is if you're alone. Eh yung pabalik pa?

But if it's a once in a lifetime experience to go there, why not?

The nearest would be Hong Kong Disneyland, that's an option.

Nevertheless, if this will push through, I hope it will be in my lifetime.

Kawawang Bakla

This is a good read! Saw this now over Guys4Men. Article was originally posted last September 12, 2008.

Go GREEN!



KAWAWANG BAKLA
by John 'Sweet' Lapus

Si Carol Dauden, na isang magaling aktres, at si Aiza Seguera, na mahusay na mang-aawit, ay umamin na—sila ay mga tomboy. Mukha naman silang masaya sa kanilang pag-amin. Mas naging malaya sila. Natanggap naman sila ng mga pamilya nila at mga kaibigan. Pero bakit ang mga bakla sa showbiz, isang damukal ang ayaw umamin. Yung iba, tumanda na, at yung iba naman, namatay na pero hindi umamin. Namatay nang nagtatago. Namatay nang hindi malaya. Kawawang bakla.

Sabi ng mga kaibigan kong tomboy, minsan daw, nakaka-get sila ng babaeng makaka-s*x nang hindi nila binabayaran. Para ding mga straight guys na minsan talk show lang at isang bote ng beer, confirmed na! Yung mga baklang mukhang babae at maganda, siguro nakaka-get ng libre, pero prangkahan na, yung iba hindi. Kahit mayaman ang bakla or sikat at powerful, pay pa din. Yung iba, hindi cash. Minsan, career or trabaho. Minsan, damit or rubber shoes. Basta, may kapalit pa rin. May mga kaibigan akong nagmamaganda. Mahal daw sila ng kanilang mga straight boyfriends. I asked them, “Try niyo nga huwag bigyan ‘yan ng allowance or work, tignan ko lang kung boyfriend mo pa ‘yan.” Ayaw naman nila i-try. Kawawang bakla.
