Alec Mapa (fab queer Filipino comedian)
“My absolute favorite LGBT movie is Parting Glances. It came out in the 80′s and features Steve Buscemi in one of his very first film roles. I think it is one of the most realistic depictions of gay life on film I’ve ever seen. I saw it in the theater and at the time it felt like we were all watching our current lives being played out on the screen. It also has a really hot kissing scene in the shower.”
From his recurring roles on Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives to his latest turn as co-host of Logo’s Transamerican Love Story, Alec has been entertaining wide audiences with his unique comic style. Be Alec’s friend on Facebook!
