At Paris Olympics opening ceremony, drag parody of 'the last supper' draws flak. A massive controversy over the drag queen-themed apparent parody of "The last supper". A group of around 18 performers struck poses behind a long table, with the seine river in act. Participants stormed the stage for an impromptu fashion show & swayed along the sidelines. Online users didn’t mince their words while slamming the inclusion of kids in the performance which was deemed controversial and blasphemous, particularly due to its portrayal of the Last Supper with drag queens. The act stirred a strong backlash from the online community. Many individuals expressed their disapproval, labelling the performance as an “insult towards Christians.”

Whoever thought this was a good idea should be fired asap

So we can’t mock them or else we get cancelled, but they can mock us and get away with it?

[sugarskull]

That was not an apology, and we do not accept.

[DrManHattann]

As an athiest who has no dog in the fight, I thought it was pretty cringe…

[rashmibelur]

To create your brand, you don’t have insult already existing religion… for you to be respected in the society, you don’t need to disrespect others!!! How is this even inclusion?!!

[arfifteen]

What was seen, can never be unseen.
Boycott the Olympics!

[bryanthardin]

Boycott it this is not the Olympics this is a tragedy

[mojoschmee]

I'm an agnostic non-believer. This was way beyond the pale and unacceptable on the Olympic stage. Really has taken my excitement out of these games.

[yannip]

SICK! This is THE WORST Olympics Opening Ceremony in the history of Olympics. Disgusting, disgraceful and shameful.

[rumraisin]

Forget about offending christians and worry about offending is God, that is who they need to apologize to!💯💯

[yhyzkte]

I am a Muslim and I say that if Christian people do not defend Jesus Christ, then we are Muslims. We will defend Christ. Christ is mentioned in the Qur’an, and for us he is a prophet. We do not allow any religion to mock the prophets and messengers whom God sent as a mercy to people to guide them from error to light.

[yourdeadman]

I dont know how they stil dont geth that we the people dont put up with this shit so stop forcing it down on us

[gullreefclub]

That was absolutely disgusting and disrespectful to all Catholics and Christians throughout the world.
Just think how much hell would be raised if someone “artistically” acted out the burning of LGBT+ symbols and flags. I not saying that would be ok to do but using that as a comparison to demonstrate to those that don’t think this Blasphemy should have been allowed as part of the Olympics opening ceremonies.

[cynthiabromback]

The opening ceremony was blatantly offensive and perverse. The blasphemy of Jesus and mockery of the last supper is unacceptable. By the committees standards of excellence to not promote politics or ideologies biased on one preference or another they have broken their own rules. Their apology is lame and insincere. As a christian i am taking a firm stand against such behavior. #boycotttheolympics

[Ali-wcor]

First time I’ve watched an Olympic Ceremony that looks creepy and felt so scared after watching it 😢

[peteforney]

Bunch of dudes playing dress up demanding a world stage is ridiculous in its own self.

[stephanieplatt]

[Nimpd]
