Abstract/Summary
This study analyzes Louie Cano's essay collections entitled Brusko Pink : King Kong Barbies & Other Queer Files (2005), Masculadoll: Mga Sanaysay ng Buhay Bading na Di Buking (2008), and Pamhinta X: Mga Nagbabagang Sanaysay (2010) using Susan Sontag's Notes on Camp (1964) and Judith Butler's concept of Gender Performativity. This study aims to determine the how the texts empowers the gay community and challenges homophobia/heterosexism. Furthermore, this study attempts to prove that Louie Cano's works are subversive against prevailing norms and binaries regarding gender and sexuality. Moreover, this study aims to explore the representation of the homosexual in the texts and whether Cano's essays oppress, degrade, trivialize, ridicule, or objectify homosexuals.
