Description
GOD LOVES BAKLA is the brave, bold, and brazen coming out story of Atty. Raymond Alikpala. Originally released in 2010, the book is being re-issued on its tenth anniversary. It chronicles his struggles with his Catholic upbringing and his homosexuality and how he is eventually able to reconcile these two seeming contradictions. Atty. Alikpala tells his story simply and honestly, with uncommon daring and courage, challenging the reader to see the inner life of a young, idealistic, religious gay Filipino with fresh eyes. With Pope Francis himself calling for the legal protection of same-sex relationships, it is time for mainstream Filipino readers to discover why Atty. Alikpala believes that “God loves bakla.”
