Description
Filipino drag queen Amadeus Fernando Pagente faces up to 12 years in jail under the Philippines' obscenity laws. The 33-year-old, who uses he, she and they pronouns, has been charged with the offence of "immoral doctrines, obscene publications and exhibitions and indecent shows" after a viral video of his performance as Jesus Christ singing the Lord's Prayer ignited outrage in the deeply religious country where many thought it was a blasphemous act deserving of jail or even death.
