Bakla Ako, May Reklamo?

Ah, Baywatch.  When I was younger, one of my guilty pleasures was watching Baywatch.  I was so interested with the stories in each episode that every time Baywatch was on, I would drop everything I was doing and stay glued to the TV.  Okay, that was a lie. I was not that interested in the stories but was interested in the lifeguards! Back then,  I was more interested in the female lifeguards than I was with the male ones. Yes, I went through that stage!

However, I will not deny that the guys on the show did strike my curiosity. I think that was the time when I started fearing that I might turn out to be gay.  Like many people out there - straight and gay - I fantasized about drowning, calling for help, and ending up being rescued by a lifeguard.  And yes, the mouth-to-mouth resuscitation that would progress into something similar to that drink they serve in bars - Sex on the Beach!

When I finally came to terms with my sexuality, I secretly hoped that that fantasy would come true. That probably is one of the reasons why I never bothered learning how to swim. But then again, I knew that those Baywatch hunks were straight and there was no chance in hell that they would turn out gay.

Until now.

I’m not sure if you remember Logan Fowler, that Aussie lifeguard character on the show. Logan Fowler was played by real-life Aussie Jaason Simmons. On March 10, Simmons came out of the closet and publicly admitted that he is gay.

Simmons and his boyfriend, Irish actor John O’Callaghan, appeared on an Aussie magazine with their adopted six-year old boy from Uganda. The couple, who now live in California, plan to get married in Canada.
