"Mula sa Philippines, ako si AJ matela. Taas-noo at ipinagmamalaki kong, BAKLA AKO!”

From the Philippines, I am AJ Matela. I'm proud to be gay!


A contribution of AJ Matela (Bakla Ako, May Reklamo? - I'm Gay, Got a Problem With That? - baklaako.com) to the IDAHO Challenge.

The Idaho Challenge is a community project by Gays.com to produce a user-generated video to be released 17 May 2009, the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHO). While 67 countries have signed the new United Nations statement to decriminalise homosexuality worldwide, anti-gay discrimination remains a reality in many parts of the world. This year, with your help, we want to create a video that sends out the message that gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people are just like everyone else. We come from all over the world and we come in all shapes and sizes and colours. And we want to send this message to the people of the world in every language that's out there!
