Olympic Drag Queen Has No Regrets: Says Paris Opening Ceremony ‘a Photograph of France in 2024’
Breitbart ^ | 08/012024 | Simon Kent

Posted on 08/01/2024 4:50:37 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Drag queen Hugo Bardin on Thursday vehemently rejected criticism of the Paris Olympics opening ceremony. He said the mass input of LGBTQI+ performers presented a snapshot of modern France under President Emmanuel Macron, adding the fact former U.S. President Donald Trump was offended meant performers had “done our job.”

“It was a really important moment for the French people and the representation of France around the world,” said the Frenchman – who performs under the stage name Paloma and took part in “The Last Supper” scene that has drawn some furious criticism — including from Trump who called it “a disgrace.”

"...Paloma told AP he was proud to have been part of a show that avoided French cliches — citing for example, “the Parisian with a baguette under their arm..."

Yeah. They prefer this portrayal of a baguette instead:

It is pretty evident to those watching that the spectacle of the Olympics was not the spectacle they wished to praise.

No regrets? Of course not. The narcissist was the center of attention. It’s what he lives for. There’s no political or human rights or freedom statement being made here. Just a pathetic grab at attention.

All people have to do is turn it off. Walk away from it. Ignore it and act like it doesn’t exist and they’ll certainly regret what those attention whores want - attention.

Based on that, I’d say it’s time to go old school on the alphabet brigade. Try to leave them alone and look what happens. They don’t want tolerance, they want theirs to be the way to go. It isn’t. I am all for a shut down of all the queer BS.

Defending the Paris opening shows you the true agenda of these accursed individuals-——
we were supposed to “cheer” this handful of degenerates mocking the world’s beliefs.


The absence of brain cells in these misgendered malcontents is acute.

Their refusal to acknowledge an atrocity the entire world condemned
only reinforces why these odious imbeciles must be called to account.

There are other places to go on vacation.

One of the reasons cities vie to host the Olympics is to advertise themselves as destinations for tourists and such. In recent decades, the financial disasters that have been the Olympics, and their eye sores of neglected sports venues have deterred tourists.

Paris as the city of love, reflected in Celine Dion’s magnificent performance was great. But that was yesterday.

Paris as the city of hedonism, reflected in other opening performances, is repulsive.

I liked the strangeness of the opening ceremonies of the 1992 Winter Olympics at Albertville (although today with so many versions of Cirque du Soleil, the show isn’t so impressive).

I enjoyed the wild costumes and characters Luc Besson incorporated into The 5th Element.

You can do it, France, be artistic and not offensive. Or, maybe I should say, you could have done it.

They haven’t a clue what they have done with their blasphemy (hint: it’s a ‘dry heat’) ... they think they’re so ‘clever’ because they offended Trump, but Trump notwithstanding, God will not be mocked.

Revised version

They wanted to portray that France has become a filthy Immoral cesspool, and to portray that france has turned its back on civility and decency and on God, and they succeeded- however, God is not mocked.
