KingOfSpain 10,010 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Every year most famous Carnival in Spain takes place in The Canary Islands. One of the highlights of the week is the Drag Queen Show, where one of the contestants is crowned as the Drag Queen of the year's Carnival in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The stunning performance by Drag Sethlas, the winner, features Like A Prayer by Madonna, Judas by our queen Lady Gaga and El Señor de la Noche by Juan Magán (a true bop). Today, everyone who has watched the news on TV has listened to this masterpiece. Many catholic groups have dissed the performance (you'll see why ) while almost everyone among the general public has praised it. Enjoy! http://gagadaily.com/forums/topic/227246-ceremony-gagas-videography-megarate/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester 6,365 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 This is so offending and unnecessary in so many ways And it's coming from someone who's probably offended when someone doesn't know the difference between trans and drag or something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for people criticizing mainstream religion through art, and I'm well aware of drag being heavily rooted in shock performances, but this performance and concept seems contrite. For one, those priest back up dancers are dressed up as klan members, who have been publicly denounced by the Catholic Church. Furthermore, Klansmen are exclusively a southern, neo-evangelical baptist idea, not anything of the Catholic Church. If you want to criticize their history of bigotry deeply rooted in the Church's past (and present) do something that is at least relevant to that particular branch of Christianity. Unless they're trying to compare the current state of the Catholic Church to a domestic terrorist group responsible for the queen's crucifixation but still. That doesn't play very well into European culture, especially when it seems increasingly aware that the government is starting to become more conservative and putting more and more minority groups in harm's way. But then again, this is a drag competition and I doubt it holds very much substance, but still. Religious criticisms should be done intelligently so it doesn't take away from the message behind it. LMAO They're not dressed as KKK members wtf?? https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazareno Those are the typical clothes catholic brotherhood members wear in the Holy Week here in Spain http://gagadaily.com/forums/topic/227246-ceremony-gagas-videography-megarate/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally get your point because of that elaborated post by @Edonis It's not a priest outfit. Maybe it's my fault because I didn't explain it and probably people who are not from Spain, Portugal and Italy see it as a KKK thing, but it's not.

Spanish Holy Week Parades are very wll-known all across Europe and bring here millions of tourists in Spring. I'm not a Christian or whatever but I attend and I love it, and most of the population do the same. So many feelings! I found a video which explain it in English Soldiers (legionarios) have their own parades as well http://gagadaily.com/forums/topic/227246-ceremony-gagas-videography-megarate/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
