Defining the News
A Filipino drag queen was arrested Wednesday after a public outcry in the Catholic-majority country over the depiction of Jesus Christ reciting the Lord’s Prayer during a performance.
Pagente told AFP from behind bars in the capital they had “done nothing wrong” and that their arrest highlighted “the degree of homophobia” in the Philippines. Reyna Valmores of the LGBTQ alliance Bahaghari accused authorities of double standards for pursuing Pagente when “straight performers” had also mocked Jesus Christ.
