MANILA, Philippines – Drag performer Pura Luka Vega stands to face a string of criminal charges of the pre-war penal law against “indecent and immoral shows” over a drag performance of the Catholic Church song “Ama Namin (The Lord’s Prayer).”
Pura has scored a key win so far: a resolution by a Tacloban prosecutor saying that the performance, if taken as a whole, has “serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value.”
Now, Pura has become a symbol of resistance against “these archaic laws.”
Justice reporter Lian Buan talks to Pura in this episode of Rappler Talk, airing 4 pm on Thursday, March 14. – Rappler.com
