Paris Olympics: a smug spectacle of wokeness
Spiked ^ | 27 July 2024 | Brendan O'Neill

Is anyone else bored of ‘queering’? Everything’s getting ‘queered’ these days. We’ve had ‘Queering the Curriculum’. ‘Queering the Arts’. And my personal favourite: ‘Queering Palestine.’ This entails academics ‘unpack[ing] the multiple intersections of queer politics and the Palestinian struggle’. Hot tip for these profs: if Hamas ever invites you to discuss your theories, don’t agree to meet them on the high floor of a building. ‘Queering the Pavement’ is the only thing they’re interested in.

Now, with soul-zapping inevitability, we’ve had the ‘queering’ of the Olympic Games. Yesterday’s rain-sodden opening ceremony in Paris was super LGBTQIAzzz. There were drag acts everywhere. A bearded bloke twerked for the world. A bollock-naked man in blue paint was served on a platter of fruit to a gaggle of diet-dodging drag queens. Look, if I wanted to be exposed to the camp debauchery of drag culture, I’d go to a kindergarten.

...

The part of the ceremony that caused the biggest stink was the camp Last Supper. A bunch of drag acts gathered around a buxom woman adorned in an aureole halo crown in an unmistakable mimicking of da Vinci’s painting of Christ and the apostles at their final meal....

Christians are angry. As well they might be. This was ‘extremely disrespectful to Christians’, said Elon Musk. Now, naturally, there’s a backlash against the backlash. Calm down, the woke are saying. Stop being such prudes and snowflakes, they’re chortling. It’s just a little light mockery, they’re insisting. Which is big talk from a section of society that would be weeping into its keffiyehs and demanding heads on spikes if the ceremony had featured a drag-act Muhammad being served a smurf on a plate of fruit with his cock out.

Say the snowflakes who can't handle if someone uses the *wrong* pronoun.

Such hypocrisy.

Which early on murdered 240,000 Christians in the Vendée. Not atheists, anti-theists!

The problem here is about the Global Olympics ceremony celebrating Satan and Satan’s work openly and literally nakedly in front of the world and presenting it as appropriate and normal.

It is about presenting at the Olympic Games a mockery of the most sacred expression of sacrifice, the Eucharist, the death of God’s son Christ our Lord, who died for our sake, to save these very sinners and all of us.

This heinous perversion of the most sacred sacrifice of our Lord is not an artistic expression. It is an IMPIETY: a lack of respect, for God and religion.

The perversts responsible for this abomiation will answer to the Lord Almighty for this heinous and disgusting display of Satanic mockery of the Sacrifice of Christ.
