**PARIS (July 27, 2024, 12:56 PM PDT)** - The extravagant opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics has caused a stir, with drag queens taking center stage in a controversial performance.Multiple far-right politicians have spoken out against the event, particularly a skit featuring drag queens in a reimagined version of Leonardo da Vinci's famous fresco, "The Last Supper."
The performance, which helped cap the nearly four-hour Opening Ceremony, has sparked fury among Catholic groups. They view it as disrespectful to the religious significance of the painting.
In an unprecedented display of inclusivity, the drag queens were given a prominent platform at the Olympic Games, sending a message of acceptance and diversity to the world. However, this bold choice has ignited a fierce debate about the role of religion and tradition in modern society.
As the world watches Paris, the debate over the drag queen performance is likely to continue. It remains to be seen whether this controversy will overshadow the spirit of unity and celebration that the Olympics are meant to embody.
