Article in October 2008 issue of Rogue

Readers in Manila may already have seen this, but here are scans of my story in the latest issue of Rogue, a very sleek and still commendably serious men's magazine in the Philippines. I traveled, on multiple occasions, to Cebu to watch a popular exhibition game there called the Unano-Bading Showdown. In English, that's the very self-explanatory "Midget-Gay man Showdown." For me, watching the game was a surreal and disturbing experience, but it is part of a culture that I love and seek to understand in ever-deeper ways.
