Crucial distinction: Gordo has a bar mitzvah. A bat mitzvah is the same thing, but recognizes a girl's coming of age rather than a boy's. (In particular, there are still some Jewish communities that will not allow a girl to perform the same ceremony as a boy on her bat mitzvah for various religious reasons, so the two terms really aren't equivalent in many cases even if one discounts the gender of the participant.)
