MANILA — To many filmmakers and creatives, the popularity of the Thai boys' love series "2gether" among Filipinos was an indication that the local audience is ready for gay love stories to go mainstream.
While Philippine cinema has no shortage of LGBT stories, only a handful are similar to BL in depiction — a shortage that has spurred the demand of similar Filipino content. Severo had set out to specifically cast queer actors in the lead roles, a mission he emphasized when the project was first announced. It was anchored on the belief that LGBT actors can best lend truth to portraying LGBT characters.
"Systemic homophobia pa rin ang kalaban. I learned na some queer actors are actually dissuaded from pursuing gay parts because: Severo also shared a text exchange with one of his collaborators on the process of casting, where he surmised that making the auditions exclusive for queer actors would "out" successful hopefuls who weren't yet open about their sexual orientation, prior to clinching the part.
And why are you asuming most or all actors in BL are straight? The fact they aren't out doesn't mean anything. I'm sure there are a LOT of gay and bi actors playing BL. Some of them are pretty OBVIOUS!
Baka palpak lang ang casting!
On point!
Stigma!
because they are too ashame to see their real selves on the screen. Hahaha
iamhirotheheroo Periodt!

Mainit na usapan to jusko.
BLs maybe popular in Thailand but it is originally from Japan 😓
Hey PLEASE don’t ruin the BL world by trying to intersectionalize it with queer media/content. Boys Love/BL is entirely different from gay-themed content. Research further please and ask REAL experts. Thank you
Pinoys are judgemental.
kc ang daming impokritong tao sa Pilipinas..daming holy at righteous!!!
Its never easy for those people who're still hiding in their closets to just out and act, specially to this country where there are only 10% human who knows to think openly and 90% homophobic and racist. Soooo....
