Manila Gay Guy

Naging makulay at buhay na buhay ang taong 2009 para sa akin, at napakalaking parte noon ang pagkakaroon ng blog na ito. I realize how lucky I am for having such a big audience for my stories, my thoughts, my frivolities, my follies, my triumphs, my silence. Lucky not for anything else, but for being able to share my life with such a wide audience. It’s as if my life has richer meaning and is indeed bigger than just living for myself. Mas may katuturan, may kabuluhan. (more…)

VATICAN CITY (AFP) – - A suggestion by Pope Benedict XVI that homosexuality is as much of a threat to the survival of the human race as climate change sparked outrage among gay rights campaigners on Tuesday. [Source / Photo by Yahoo]

There is no direct quote from Pope Benedict XVI that is clearly homophobic, so I do not think we should take it as a real attack. Knowing the Catholic doctrine though, I am not really surprised that the Pope disapproves of the assumed typical homosexual lifestyle. It’s Christmas, and today more than ever, I pray that the pope is blessed with the grace of universal love. And I pray for us all for the same thing. May we all learn to love everyone regardless of age, gender, and race. Being anti-anything is so yesterday. Love, love, love. And gratitude. World Peace!

Today, September 11, is my birthday. I have no wise words to say, just thank you, salamat, salamat! On this day, I am overwhelmed by a sense of gratitude for the innumerable blessings I constantly receive from every direction. I resolve to spend my day celebrating these blessings and honoring everyone around me who has made me a more joyous person now than last year, than ever before. This includes you, dear MGG reader — salamat for being part of my life. I may not know all of you personally, but rest assured that just by being there you’ve made me a better person. Because of you I constantly strive to be as open, as accepting, and as loving as I can possibly be. Thank you, salamat, salamat po!

Ria, the woman letter sender of that previous post “My husband has a rich gay lover” responds after the overwhelming deluge of advice from our dear MGG readers. Let us all wish Ria the best, may she be blessed with strength to get through her current situation. (And for all of us who are privileged with knowing Ria’s story, gay men or straight men and women readers of MGG, may this be a reminder that the choices we make, the actions we take, impact other people and the world around us. Keep world peace in our hearts!)

Hello Migs,
