Pepper – Freshly-Ground Please
paminta
- a Filipino slang term for closet gay, or someone who keeps his being gay a secret to people, even his closest friends. The word “paminta” is the literal translation of “pepper”. Or used in a sentence:
“I saw him use face powder in the men’s washroom, which just proves my suspicion that dude is a paminta.”
- and googling furthermore, Lexuality brings out this simple etymological definition of the term :
“In Filipino colloquial language, Pa-mhin-ta means a gay man who discreetly disguises his gender with masculine behavior and style.”
================
According to this website (Pepper – the Master Spice), there are numerous types of pepper used in cooking:
black peppercorns, tellicherry peppers, green peppercorns, white peppercorns, red peppercorns, even pink peppercorns!
so which color are you?

The Closet
This is a blog of your everyday (stereotyped) gay or bisexual man who most probably is closeted — the CEO who is your boss, the athlete idolized by millions, your officemate, plumber or the magtataho you see in the streets.
Paminta, pa-mhin, whatever… we are everywhere… but most probably just haven’t notice.
Yeah, because, we are in the closet.
I will attempt to put into text the musings, thoughts, rants, raves and yes, even, wishes of the stereotyped closeted Filipnio male. This may be foolish, even, useless, but this is better than forever be in the closet. At least, in cyberspace, we can be free from the dark, cold and restricting space we call home.
