Tubog sa Ginto (English: Dipped in Gold) is a 1971 Filipino drama film directed by Lino Brocka, based on the comic serials created by Mars Ravelo for Tagalog Klasiks. This is the first film to tackle the then-controversial theme of homosexuality at that time when it was still a very sensitive issue.

    Despite the myriad of research and explanation regarding the "third sex", the society still failed to fully understand the trials and tribulations of a homosexual. The people believed such indistinguishable gender to be a disease in their society, to the point that they label homosexuals as criminals.

    The story, written around 1969 to 1970, tackled the issue of "the third sex" which was still a taboo subject matter during the day. Ravelo was quite critical of that notion that being effeminate as belief was a big disadvantage and scandal causing great embarrassment to the person’s family or the entire race.
