Bataan Rep. Geraldine Roman, the Philippines' first transgender lawmaker, criticized a drag performance that disrespected religious elements.
She stated that the proposed SOGIE Equality Bill does not protect disrespectful performances that desecrate sacred items, emphasizing it is an anti-discrimination measure.
Roman reminded the LGBT+ community that their actions reflect on the entire community and urged them to uphold respect.
Her statement followed widespread criticism of drag artist Pura Luka Vega's performance of a rock version of the Catholic prayer 'Ama Namin'.
ACT-CIS Party-list nominee Erwin Tulfo thanked Roman for taking a stand against the controversial performance.
