* QueerRomance: Played with. Dali is a man who is attracted to women, despite being super campy. The main romance in the movie is his burgeoning relationship with Angel, a woman. But Dali is clearly not a traditionally masculine man, and he embraces the "bakla" label at the end [[spoiler:though he enters a fully-fledged romantic relationship with Angel]]. He can be seen as a gender non-conforming straight man. There's also Jaime's relationship with his boyfriend, and lots of gay men being attracted to other men.

* CastingGag: In ''Film/ThePantiSisters'' (2019), directed by Intalan's husband Jun R. Lana, Christian Bables played Samuel, a CampGay man forced to pretend to be a masculine straight guy to earn his father's approval. His mom, Vilma, briefly tried to get him to pretend that he was "just metrosexual," to no avail. In this movie, Bables plays a character who actually ''is'' [[CampStraight straight despite being very camp]]. His heterosexuality is what displeases his openly gay father in this movie.

* IncompatibleOrientation:
** Gemma was attracted to Jaime when they were younger, but he came out as gay. That didn't end up posing a real problem to their partnership, though, as they became PlatonicLifePartners.
** Subverted with Dali. Jaime ''worries'' that Dali is just pretending to be attracted to women. So does Angel, and... well, most people who meet his new "straight" persona. But he really ''is'' attracted to women.
** Freddie hits on Dali, who is too straight and oblivious to even realize.

* HappilyMarried: Of the PlatonicLifePartners variety. Jaime and Gemma are husband and wife legally, and they are harmonious co-parents to their kids, but they are not at all romantically or sexually attracted to each other. Well, Gemma ''was'' at some point in time, but at present day, she's fully content being her husband's purely platonic best friend as he dates other men.

* BeYourself: This is the ultimate message of the movie. Dali tries to be more masculine just to prove that he's straight and win Angel's heart, but it doesn't work out for him, [[spoiler:and he realizes that Angel liked him just the way he was, even though she had her own prejudices at first]].

* CampStraight: Dali, very much so. He isn't at all attracted to other men, and exclusively likes women, as he explains -- that's why he's straight. But because he's so very {{Camp}}, other people refuse to believe it. Well, Marga does, but Romy makes fun of her for it, even though she turns out to be correct.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Dali is instantly smitten with Angel, complete with slow-mo and romantic music, thanks to her beauty.
