Hinsobrahan da na binayot!
Controversy stirred by a drag
performance that used Catholic Mass song "Ama Namin" and featured a
twerking Jesus performed by PURA Luca Vega. The Filipino drag queen sparked
heated debates on social media after posting a video of herself singing an Ama
Namin remix to a cheering crowd at a bar.
The remix was a punk rock
version of the Catholic Mass worship song, and Vega performed this in an outfit
that seems to portray Jesus Christ.
Even the LGBTQ community cried
foul on the seemingly blasphemous portrayal of the Lord’s Prayer which is revered
by Christians especially by the Catholic community.
The drag queen mentioned about
freedom of expression and even stood on her footing that there is nothing wrong
with what she did. But isn’t there a line drawn on the so-called “freedom”?
What if your expression brings distress, insult and psychological disturbance
to the majority?
"In my opinion, this is
the height of the misuse and abuse of our freedom of expression that borders on
criminal activity," Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri said Thursday
reported by Philippine Star.
There is nothing wrong with
being gay and drag is an expression already accepted by the masses. But the
universal value of respect must be practiced by everyone who is straight, gay or
whatever gender one identifies with.
Most of the time, the need to
fuel up a controversy has a psychological implication. Persons who perform
taboo might have issues on self-knowledge and awareness.
Who would have known this Luka
if she did not perform such infamy anyway?
