    • 2021 May 27, IK, STA, Policija zavrača očitke o selektivni obravnavi protestnikov‎[1]:
      Kljub opozorilom, da vse to ni dovoljeno, je bila po pojasnili PU Ljubljana tudi na petkovem protestu v množici prižgana bakla in prinesene daljše palice, ki so jih zasegli. "Policija ne more in ne sme tolerirati takih kršitev, ne glede na to, kdo jih je storil. Prav navedbe, ki namigujejo, da bi morala policija tuje državljane drugače obravnavati, pomenijo etično profiliranje in opredeljevanje glede na rasno, versko, narodnostno ali kakšno drugo pripadnost, česar pa policija absolutno ne podpira. Zoper vse kršitelje bo vedno ukrepano na enak način," so poudarili na policiji.
      Despite warnings that all this was not allowed, the Ljubljana Police explained that even at Friday's protest a torch was lit in the crowd and longer sticks were brought in and confiscated. "The police cannot and must not tolerate such violations, regardless of who committed them. The very allegations that suggest that the police should treat foreign nationals differently amount to ethical profiling and profiling on the basis of race, religion, nationality or any other affiliation, which the police absolutely do not support. All offenders will always be dealt with in the same way," the police stressed.

Etymology tree
Tagalog bakli
Tagalog bakle
Proto-Indo-European *-eh₂

Spanish -a?
Tagalog bakla

    From alteration of bakle (“homosexual”) possibly to sound more feminine (cf. Spanish -a (feminine suffix)), from bakli (“broken by bending; bent; crooked”), picturesque illustrating the incapacity of the male sex organ to exercise an erection.[1] The connotation of being “broken” led homosexuals around the 1970s to use other words such as badap, bading, marikona, etc. to refer to homosexuals. Compare also the analogy with English straight (“heterosexual”) and bent (“homosexual”).

    Alternate theories for the etymology include:

    • From blend of babae +‎ lalaki.
    • From bakla (“fear; worry; perturbed”). See etymology 2. Perhaps attributed to “cowardice” or “fearfulness”. The insertion of the final glottal stop is unexplained but may be an evolution of the word.

    Unrelated to Sanskrit वक्र (vakra, “bent”).
