Marina Summers is one of the top drag queens in the Philippines and she was one of the finalists on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs The World. Her drag embraces her Philippine identity, with looks on the show inspired by rice farming and even the national fish. Drag culture in the Philippines is becoming more mainstream but it’s not completely easy for all drag queens - one queen, is facing prison time for ‘offending religion’, after dressing up as Jesus in a show.
So what is life like for a Filipino drag queen? Plus we hear from two young LGBT people about what drag and being LGBT means to them.
Also, William Lee Adams, from the What in the World team, takes us through what LGBT rights are like across Southeast Asia.
