This is a repeat of the introductory section in the Japanese festival post. You can skip it if you have already read it in this earlier post.
A broader cultural perspective in response to Christian and Lesbian and Gay Respectability moral scolds.
I am going to do a series of posts where I show that what some of the things that happen at Pride events, happens elsewhere.
So recently Julie Bindel, Lesbian moral scold had this post on X.com refering to an article in her Substack asking that Pride events be banned.

It has a link to her Substack post, “A Pride of Perverts,” where she denounces Pride and wants it banned. It is full of classic homophobia. This is what you write when basically you are a moral scold shaped by Christian society and phobic of male sexuality.
Likely, if she lived in 1900 she would be a member of a crusading temperance society, perhaps with an axe.
So I am going to show processions here and there in other societies.
The basic thing about them is that they don’t have Christian zealots hysterically obsessed with sex being evil.

The Philippines isn’t some type of sexual anarchy or going off the deep end.
What the Philippines doesn’t have is Evangelical Christians who are in continued hysteria over sex and the human body.
They don’t wear this in everyday life, but for celebrations of Igorot Pride they do.
This is a reference block of information.
This unit of information will be used in response to the moral scolds among the LGBTQXYZ+ and the Christians currently attacking Pride.
The pride events were powerful in building the Gay movement. Various groups have hijacked it, but hopefully we will revive Gay pride events.
