Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
See – it’s not only the Moslems that still take Christianity seriously.
CNN:
A drag queen who dressed as Jesus Christ and performed a rock rendition of The Lord’s Prayer has been arrested in the Philippines under the country’s obscenity laws, sparking a fierce debate about free speech and protections for members of the LGBTQ community.
The Philippines is a deeply Christian country and the Catholic Church maintains significant influence both in daily life and politics.
Amadeus Fernando Pagente, 33, whose drag name is Pura Luka Vega and who uses the pronoun they/them, was widely accused of blasphemy by officials with the Catholic church and others after videos of their performance singing “Ama Namin,” the Tagalog version of the prayer, went viral in July.
The performer was taken into police custody on Wednesday under a law that prohibits “immoral doctrines, obscene publications and exhibitions, and indecent shows” by “offending any religion,” according to a statement from their legal team on X, formerly Twitter. The allegations say they also violated a cybercrime law because the video was shared online to allegedly “perpetrate the stated crime.”
The legal team vowed to contest the charges and focus initially on securing Pagente’s bail.
Online videos of the drag artist belting out the Tagalog version of The Lord’s Prayer alongside revellers in a bar sparked a significant backlash from religious organizations.
The show, in which Pagente could be seen dressed in robes imitating Catholic vestments with a golden halo, provoked a furor and became headline news for weeks in the Philippines while more than a dozen cities, including the capital Manila where the performer resides, declared Pagente “persona non grata,” a symbolic move declaring them no longer welcome.
Yeah, people don’t like this sort of thing.
