Using Judith Butler"s Gender Performativity, together with Neil Garcia's classification of gays and gay gender roles. Each classification is characterized with distinct characteristics of gays based on Garcia's study. Works on gender roles, Philippine gay culture, and media representation were reviewed to substantiate the study. By employing Butler's concept of Gender Performativity, together with Neil Garcia's concept of bakla/homosexual dynamic as a supporting theory, the study concludes that there is no specific set of gay characteristics and gender roles which defines gays in a specific time. The study revealed that gay gender roles in Philippine gay-themed cinema are diverse in the decades that were studied, proving Butler's concept of gender fluidity -- Author's abstract.
