Paris Olympics drag performance at opening ceremony criticized for blasphemy and controversy. The world watched in disbelief as the Paris Olympics took a controversial turn with its performance lineup.

A drag performance involving children, apparently reimagining The Last Supper is being widely condemned as "hyper-sexualised" and "blasphemous" by online critics.

Why cant the Olympics just be about nations competing in sports and nothing more?

[kellygoodman]

I’m not even a Christian and I was disgusted by what I saw

[melbournemarbaniang]

We should boycott watching this Olympic. Shame on France

[saracinofamily]

How is this allowed? If there was a scene mocking any other group of people, there would be riots in the streets

[ladybugmom]

I just want to know what the hell did it have anything to do with the Olympics?
I thought the Olympics were about the athletes, not drag queens

[Promance]

Satan is here. He's not hiding anymore.

[Riclmnopp]

I’m not even that religious and I found this to be disgusting. I’m not going to watch the Olympics this year.

[Lulu-yebw]

Absolutely evil. Dirty Paris is now a disgrace to all.

[wejie]

As a Muslim, i would call it utterly disgraceful.
Such mockery is unacceptable for any religious belief.

[peppermint]

VILE and DISGUSTING !! Our entire extended family is now BOYCOTTING the OLYMPICS on ALL Media Platforms !!

[olgadoudesh]

As I Russian, I'm happy our nation didn't participe in this blasphemy. The Russian audience couldn't see it on TV either. This is something we strongly fight against.

[michaelgadoua]

There is no point of a drag parody of the last supper, other than blasphemy.

[WhoisJohnDoe]

🤮You can’t even let your kids watch the Olympics anymore.

[gamingtonight]

Don't forget, for the first time ever, we saw celebrities allowed to carry the flame. No one other than sportsmen and women has ever carried the flame!

[taurussk]

This is the most disgusting olympics open ceremony in history🤢🤮

[indahouse]

as a human who doesnt care about anything anymore: i found it absolutely disgusting

[LBJ]

They not only insulted 2.4 billion Christians, they insulted multiple other countries and cultures with such distasteful scenes. What did it have to do with sport? We had to turn it off, as we were watching with young children.

[YeehawMister]

As a Muslim this is not only mocking your religion it’s also mocking our religion. May god deal with these people accordingly.

[JFlower]

DISGUSTING!!! Olympics used to be OK for the entire family.

[rozzie]

The Olympics should be celebrating sports pride, not mocking Christians beliefs.
