The Olympics are supposed to be a time of mutual respect and a reason to come together from around the world. It is unacceptable that the opening ceremony mocked Christianity and the Last Supper and included a child in a drag queen performance. pic.twitter.com/mRBkKEYeYY

The 2024 Olympics opening ceremony featured 18 drag queen performers posed behind a long table — evoking “The Last Supper” — in front of the Seine River and Eiffel Tower, according to the New York Post. The drag queen in the center wore a big silver headdress, which resembled the halo depicted in paintings of Jesus.
Btw, what the f*ck was all this about? A drag queen mockery of the Last Supper at the Olympics? Would they have mocked any other religion like this? Appalling decision. pic.twitter.com/50uREKJEJd

One man appeared to expose himself, although it is unconfirmed whether it was a wardrobe malfunction or his genitals.
The performance also featured a half-naked blue man emerging from a large serving tray, which the Olympics explained depicts the Greek God Dionysus. Other moments included a potential polyamorous trio enter a bedroom and a heavy-metal performer dressed as Mary Antionette holding her own severed head, Business Insider noted.
