Exploring the Culture of Drag: Why It Should Never Be Criminalized

"Drag Is Not A Crime" is a powerful slogan and movement within the LGBTQ+ community that advocates for the rights and acceptance of drag performers. This phrase highlights the artistic expression, creativity, and cultural significance of drag, which has deep roots in LGBTQ+ history. Drag is not merely a performance; it embodies self-expression, gender exploration, and the celebration of diversity.

In recent years, drag performers have faced increased scrutiny and discrimination, often being unjustly targeted by legislation aimed at suppressing their art form. This has galvanized activists and allies to rally behind the message that drag is a legitimate and important aspect of LGBTQ+ culture, deserving of protection and respect.

The movement emphasizes the idea that everyone should have the freedom to express themselves without fear of persecution. Through protests, social media campaigns, and community events, "Drag Is Not A Crime" seeks to raise awareness about the importance of

Pura Luka Vega on Twitter @/puralukavega:

I was released on bail today. Honestly, I got to learn more about my cellmates and their stories and much more. Because of what is happening and through the support and explanations of my lawyers, I now feel comfortable using legal jargon in everyday life.

Tuloy pa rin ang laban, tuloy pa rin ang buhay. Lubos ang pasasalamat ko sa mga tumulong saken sa bail ko. To my drag sisters na walang sawang tumulong saken at nag-organize ng fund raising for legal fees, maraming maraming salamat sa inyo. [The fight goes on, life goes on. I am overflowing with gratefulness towards those who helped with my bail. To my drag sisters who never tired of helping me and organizing fund raisers for legal fees, thank you so so much.] Salamat @/brianblack_ 🥹��

More importantly, I am grateful for those who have supported and defended me. There can be a hundred people in the room, and 99 don’t believe in you, but one does. Masaya na ako doon. 🥹 #DragisArt #DragIsNotACrime

And I would like to thank our drag lord, @/manilaluzon for the mother that she is. She has been there for us and I can’t thank her enough. 🥹 Watch Drag Den only on @/primevideoph. Labyu @/dragdenph! See you on March 7 at Newport Resorts World for the finale! 😘

Bahaghari on Facebook: Pura Luka Vega's rearrest highlights LGBTQI's non-enjoyment of freedom of expression and artistic freedom

After months of being released on bail, drag artist Pura Luka Vega has been arrested again, this time by a different court but with the same complaint.

Bahaghari once again condemns the weaponization of the law against Pura and their right to freely express their relationship with faith through art. Evangelical groups have allotted resources to further marginalize an LGBTQI+ person in the court of law. Similarly, many city councils across the Philippines have declared them "persona non grata," following a viral video where they, dressed as Jesus Christ, performed Ama Namin remix in a bar.

It has not gone unnoticed to Bahaghari the double standards at play in this case. Pastor Apollo Quiboloy of the mega-church Kingdom of Jesus Christ was indicted by FBI for alleged crimes against women and children but none of the city councils who have declared Pura "persona non grata" are mum on this issue. Until now, Quiboloy is in hiding even with summons from the Senate in their investigation on the abuse allegations against him. Furthermore, the complainants for the case are all affiliated with the Philippines for Jesus Movement (PJM) founded by Eddie Villanueva, the father of Senator Joel Villanueva, whose office has deployed disgusting tactics to delay the SOGIESC Equality Bill.

The art of drag and other similar acts of expression by LGBTQI+ people are under attack around the world. In the United States, legislations have been passed to criminalize people based on gender identity and expression. In the Philippines where a national anti-discrimination law is absent, LGBTQI+ individuals are subject to gender-based violence.

Pura Luka Vega's case is an attack on LGBTQI+ people's expression on their relationship with faith and religion and the expression of their artistic freedom. LGBTQI+ individuals have different expressions on their faith. Many are still practicing their religion. Some have abandoned it altogether due to the trauma and marginalization they felt in the presence of their religious leaders.

To celebrate not living in Tennessee, we went to see Sir Ian McKellen in drag as Mother Goose. Also, this was our first pantomime! I can see where those in the British Isles get their love of puns, wordplay, and slapstick if this is a foundation of childhood. What a blast! #DragIsArt #livetheatre #MotherGoose #dragisaright #dragismagic #panto #pantomime (at Bord Gáis Energy Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqI9_ePNgGS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
