Censorship, art, and God’s heart for the LGTBQ+ community

How do you protect your children, when art is opening their eyes to things they might not yet understand? Our Woman Alive contributer comments on the Hannah Reyes Morales exhibition in Budapest, and the subsequent complaints that came from her depicting a community of elderly LGBTQ+ people in the Philippines.

Every year, the Hungarian National Museum in Budapest, Hungary, hosts the world-famous World Press Photo exhibition in a breathtaking visual coverage of global events.

This year, the exhibition included pictures by award-winning Filipina photojournalist Hannah Reyes Morales, whose work centres on people and their life hardships. Morales’ photographs were of a ‘community of elderly LGBTQ+ people in the Philippines who have shared a home for decades and cared for each other as they age, depicting some community members dressed in drag and wearing makeup.’ (Time Magazine).
