On Wednesday, a drag queen from the Philippines, known as Pura Luka Vega, was apprehended for her portrayal of Jesus Christ reciting the Lord's Prayer. This performance, captured on video, had led to criminal complaints by Christian organizations back in July. Amadeus Fernando Pagente, who is 33 years old and goes by his real name, now faces the possibility of a 12-year jail sentence, in accordance with the obscenity laws prevalent in the predominantly Catholic Philippines, where nearly 80% of the population adheres to Roman Catholicism.
