Video of drag queens reenacting The Last Supper during Paris Olympics 2024 ceremony goes viral: ‘The Woke Olympiad’

Drag queens played a prominent role as France hosted the opening ceremony for the Olympic Games on Friday — much to the dismay of many social media users. The Games opened with a four hour ceremony along the Seine featuring global stars Celine Dion and Lady Gaga, performances spanning historic and modern French culture, and a flotilla of barges carrying more than 6000 Olympians. The Opening Ceremony also saw several drag performers interpreting French history and culture — including a headless Marie Antoinette singing while she clutched her skull in her hands. Another group — including drag queens — ‘parodied’ The Last Supper as portrayed by Leonardo da Vinci of Christ and his apostles.
