“If you become the Mutya ng Ikatlong Lahi 2009, why is your skin color dark?”

Familiar?  If you’re thinking “The Thank You Girls” then you, my friend, are not a “thank you girl!” Yes, the indie film that broke the stigma of gay films as raunchy and borderline porn is back!  So here’s one thousand pesos, one thousand pesos, one thousand pesos, Congratulations!

If you were not able to catch the run of “The Thank You Girls” last year, then this is your chance to join five dysfunctional gay beauty pageant veterans in their quest to conquer the grandest competition of beauty, personality and brains!

If God knows, God knows!

“The Thank You Girls” will be shown at the Cinemalaya 2009 Film Festival on July 18, 2009 (Saturday) at 9:00 PM at the CCP Silangan Hall.  So what are you waiting for? Tara na!

Question: Another question for you Ms. Adora Gracia. For you, define darkness.

Answer: Well, that is a very enlightening question indeed. And if I were to define darkness, it’s sitting right beside me.

When I was a young boy, I was so scared of trannies. I don’t know why but I really was. However, over the years, I have learned to understand them in the same why that I understand my sexuality. And now, I don’t just understand them, I appreciate them and am proud of them.

One of the reasons why I’m proud of them is gay beauty pageants. It is quite sad that many people automatically think of question and answer boo-boos whenever the term “gay beauty pageant” is mentioned. However, what I’ve noticed is that our transsexual and/transvestite sistahs who join beauty pageants are getting more and more intelligent. All the more reason to be proud of the T in LGBT!
