Once again, Filipino drag artist Pura Luka finds himself in hot water, not for the killer makeup skills, but for daring to be fabulous in a society that’s still stuck in the Dark Ages.
It’s high time religious and self-righteous groups trade in their pitchforks for a sense of humor and a dash of tolerance.
While the Constitution guarantees religious freedom, it seems some folks missed the memo on respecting other people’s rights to express themselves. Drag art isn’t out to topple temples or tarnish holy texts; it’s about glitter, glamour, and smashing gender norms. Claiming that drag diminishes the stature of religious groups is like saying wearing a funky hat undermines the Vatican.
If atheists can resist the urge to sue every time a church bell rings, maybe it’s time the holier-than-thou crowd learns to live and let Luka lip-sync in peace.
