Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy

Before the review let me introduce it to you first! Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy is a Filipino movie about 4 quadruplets starring Vice Ganda who is a LGBTQIA+ icon and Filipino superstar.

 

Vice acted all 4 of the siblings. It's a movie about the Girl and Boy  being taken away from their mother and so the 2 could live in the states, while the Bakla and Tomboy (Gay & Lesbian) continued to live with their mother in the Philippines, and worked so hard in the province.

One day, the Tomboy (Lesbian) caught an illness, which caused them to move to a city so they could get better treatment. Tomboy needed blood, Bakla (Gay) was the one to donate. And one day, Boy needed a liver transplant, and that's when their parents revealed that they are Quadruplets, then they later moved back to the Philippines . They met each other in complete shock. But Bakla was the most shocked because Bakla will be the one to transfer a Liver to the twin brother Boy.

​

I think this is a great representation of a Filipino LGBTQIA+ movie because not only did Vice Ganda the gay icon starred and acted all 4 of the twins, it also has an amazing meaning that a Gay person matters so much in this world that they are willing to do anything for a loved one's safety, and also is one of the most hardworking persons too.

 

Not necessarily meaning that you must sacrifice a liver to be loved, but the fact that gays experiences a lot of obstacles but still and willing to do anything shows us how lovable they actually are and how worthy of equality they are. I love how the siblings get to love each other even if they have different genders/sexuality and how that promotes equality so so well, telling us that no matter how you express yourself you are still accepted in a family. And i hope that could happen right now in this world we're living in.
