A broadcast media arts student gained the attention of social media after his thesis entitled “You Make Me Shine: The Gay Fandom of Regine Velasquez and the Making of a Gay Icon” caught the attention of the singer. | HMallorcaINQ
In an interview with INQUIRER.net, Galang revealed that his thesis is a love letter to Velasquez as a longtime fan since sixth grade. He also mentioned that while celebrities and fan culture are being discussed in school, he noticed the “lack of academic attention” regarding the Asia’s Songbird.
As a member of the LGBTQIA community himself, the UP student said the “Dadalhin” singer transformed the lives of “many gay Filipinos then and now.” “Nanghiram pa ako ng ballpen sa staff to write a dedication. ‘Tas ayon, I just got word sa friend ko na nakita na raw niya ang thesis ko,” he recalled. “I am beyond grateful and fulfilled also with the overwhelming support and awe expressed by fellow Reginians, my friends and family, and basically the public.”While Galang will have the opportunity to witness Velasquez’s concert on Feb. 25, he pointed out that there’s a “need” for gay icons to be featured in academic studies.
