7/6/2023 0 Comments Chasing Pacquiao by Rod PulidoI imagined a bullied gay teen who learns to fight because of Pacquiao, only to be shattered when he discovers that his hero is homophobic. After Pacquiao made his infamous comments, I realized that my story idea would be much more compelling and timely with a queer protagonist. Finding the premise a bit too Karate Kid-ish, I set it aside for the time being. Prior to the Pacquiao incident, I’d been mulling over a story idea about a bullied teenager who learns to defend himself by studying the boxing matches of Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao had been my hero, but I could no longer support him. As a long-time Pacquiao fan, I was angered by his ignorance, and being a fierce queer ally, I felt betrayed by his homophobia. So, how did I arrive here? Let’s rewind five years.ĭuring a February, 2016 interview, the legendary boxer Manny Pacquiao made homophobic statements, saying that queer people were “worse than animals.” His comments set off a firestorm of controversy and divided the Filipino community worldwide. Welcome to my coming out party! (In lieu of gifts, please donate to an LGBTQ+ non-profit of your choice.) (Please take off your shoes before entering.)

Trolley line, elevated train, subway, skyscrapers, you can hardly see the poor house. We have to read quickly now she needs to know. But the city is encroaching, surrounding, swallowing the little pink house, and Rilla has picked up the urgency. Steam shovel, big rocks, little rocks, tar, steamroller. The road comes rolling out from the distant city that's Huck's page to study. We must pause while Rilla touches each crescent and disk, naming the days. And then the next spread, the calendar of moons. The sun arcs across the page and this must be pored over, wait, Mommy, don't turn the page yet. The house is built, the countryside blooms, the seasons change. I love quiet books like The Little House, the kind that tiptoe their way into a child's heart. Huck climbs half on top of me and begins to count the trees around the little pink house. She has a laugh her sisters call the Evil Chipmunk. "Hot pink," she murmurs approvingly, studying the cover. She'll give almost anything a chance, if there's pink involved. "It's about a big city growing up around this little pink house." Rilla isn't sure she likes the look of Virginia Lee Burton's The Little House. 7/5/2023 0 Comments Arsene lupin gentleman thiefThe first five episodes of the series found Assane avenging his father’s death-and the next five bring us right back into the action with the protagonist doing whatever it takes to protect the ones he loves most.
