In the Philippines, a very conservative country where homosexuality is still not accepted but only tolerated, Pinoy Boys’ Love (BL henceforth) Series is not usually seen in the mainstream media. However, Pinoy BL genre has become increasingly popular in 2020 because of the lockdown that happened in the Philippines. This paper aims to indicate that these kinds of Series can be integrated into the literature classroom as a tool in English language teaching and learning. This paper hoped to advocate for Pinoy BL stories to be used as a literary material in the classroom which will hone students’ creativity and critical thinking.
