Paris organizers defended the Olympics opening ceremony on Sunday amid backlash over the apparent mocking of The Last Supper during the performance. The opening ceremony drew condemnation from American leaders, world leaders, Christian groups and athletes alike over its depiction of one of the most revered events in Christianity. The ceremony’s segment appeared to resemble a depiction of The Last Supper, famously painted by Leonardo da Vinci. The performance ensemble included drag queens, a transgender model and a naked singer who was stylized to resemble the Greek god Dionysus. Paris 2024 spokesperson Anne Descamps spoke about it on Sunday.

The organising committee of Paris 2024 has apologised to Catholics and other Christian groups who were outraged by a scene during the opening ceremony that evoked Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper painting with drag queens, a transgender model and a singer made up as the Greek god of wine. The parody of the biblical scene, performed against the backdrop of the River Seine, was intended to interpret Dionysus and raise awareness “of the absurdity of violence between human beings”, organisers wrote on X. The committee was forced to apologise after the performance caused outrage among Catholics, Christian groups and...

Global Telecommunications company C Spire has yanked all of its advertising from the Paris Olympics after the opening ceremony mocked Christianity in its reenactment of the Last Supper using drag queens.

Last Friday, the city of Paris held their openin ceremony at the Olympic Games 2024 but the entire show had a mixed reaction from people. While many were absolutely thrilled for the excellent level of the presentation, many even called it impossible to surpass. The more conservative and religious parts of the population that saw this event were completely outraged at some of the symbolism that was presented there. There was a spoof of the famous Leonardo Da Vinci painting, 'The Last Supper' but there were people in drag dancing and there was a strange appearance from the Greek God...

The official video of the Paris 2024 opening ceremony appears to have been deleted from the Olympics account as viewers' backlash grows - with fans flocking to praise the London 2012 showcase, which remains online.

Meanwhile, the show also does not appear to be on their YouTube channel - despite there being coverage of the games both before and after the ceremony. And full-length versions of the ceremonies for London 2012, Rio 2016, Beijing 2022 and even...

This week, the Paris Olympics opening ceremony featured a drag queen mockery rendition of the Lord’s Supper. Has the world truly sunk so low? The depravity even surprises me, as one who’s been journaling the downgrade for years. This grotesque parody is a glaring symbol of moral decay, and watching the Olympics nowadays is akin to partaking in the evil works of Satan. The Olympics, once a symbol of unity, now promote agendas that defy anything remotely Christian. While a drag queen mocking the Last Supper may be entertaining to heathens—it’s a brazen assault on our faith. Yet, are we...

Kansas City Chiefs player Harrison Butker criticized a portion of the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony over social media on Friday that appeared to attempt to mimic Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper. In between the participating countries being presented at the kick-off in Paris, several performances were presented that played off French cultural and history. One of the more controversial performances, however, was one where drag queens and other actors appeared to remake the scene of The Last Supper, which depicts the last meal that Jesus Christ shared with his disciples before he was crucified. Butker posted a video to...

The 2024 Olympics in France opened Friday with a controversial ceremony featuring drag queens and what many described as homages to satanic symbolism, igniting a firestorm of negative reactions on Twitter. “This is crazy,” podcast host Clint Russell said in a tweet. “There are 2.4 billion Christians on earth and apparently the Olympics wanted to declare loudly to all of them, right out of the gate NOT WELCOME.” The infamous re-creation of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper began with a woman in a blue dress and crown, making a heart sign with her hands in front of a DJ deck,...

Three drag superstars will lobby House lawmakers on both sides of the aisle next week to advocate for greater protections for LGBTQ people and fight against a rising tide of hate and threats made against the community. Drag performers Jiggly Caliente, Brigitte Bandit and Joey Jay will meet with lawmakers on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, part of a “Drag Lobby Day” organized by MoveOn Political Action, a progressive advocacy group. “MAGA Republicans have been viciously assaulting the rights and freedoms of the LGBTQ+ community for far too long,” Nakia Stephens, the group’s campaigns director, told The Hill in an emailed...

As I was doing my morning reading, I was pointed to this article at Religion News Service (RNS) praising and celebrating the abomination of drag performances in churches, particularly, in the pulpit. This abomination is a clear indication of the modern professing Church’s utter degeneration. I know they say that there is nothing new under the sun, but this sure seems like a new invention. I can’t think of a time in history when the professing Church was so celebratory of sexual immorality. Perhaps, though, this is exactly what Paul was addressing in 1 Corinthians 5 when he addresses sexual...

A jury has awarded more than $1.1 million to an Idaho drag performer who accused a far-right blogger of defaming him when she falsely claimed that he exposed himself to a crowd, including children, during a Pride event in June 2022. The Kootenai County District Court jury unanimously found Friday that Summer Bushnell defamed Post Falls resident Eric Posey when she posted a doctored video of his performance with a blurred spot that she claimed covered his “fully exposed genitals,” the Coeur D’Alene Press reported. In reality the unedited video showed no indecent exposure, and prosecutors declined to file charges....

Letta Dicken, the self-proclaimed number one plus size drag queen in the state, lip-synced to songs and read books at Windham-Raymond's Pride celebration on Sunday. The scheduled drag performances were cancelled before the event after organizers received pushback from the community and threats were made to the entertainers. However, Letta was undeterred and gave a performance inside the gym to an audience filled with kids and their parents. Wearing a blonde wig and sparkly rainbow jumpsuit, she lip-synced to...
