LGBTQ Group Is Actually Pissed Off Over The Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony That Featured Drag Queens

One performance from the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics produced a wave of emotions throughout the world.

The four-hour ceremony kicked off the start of the Summer Games.

During the most talked about performance, drag queens and dancers lined a long table in an image that some believed resembled Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” portrait of Jesus Christ and his 12 apostles.

Many blasted it as mocking Christianity, but one LGBTQ group leader had other issues with it.

French LGBTQ leader James Leperlier believes the Paris Olympics opening ceremony did not go far enough.

“We know in the LGBTQ community in France, we are far from what the ceremony showed. There’s much progress to do in society regarding transgender people. It’s terrible that to legally change their identity, they are forced to be on trial,” Inter-LGBT president James Leperlier said per Reuters.

“If you saw the opening ceremony last night you’d think it was like that normally, but it’s not. France tried to show what it should be and not what it is.”

 

 

Jolly confirmed “The Last Supper” was “not my inspiration.”

“There is Dionysus who arrives on this table. He is there because he is the God of celebration in Greek mythology,” Jolly said. “The idea was to have a pagan celebration connected to the gods of Olympus. You will never find in me a desire to mock and denigrate anyone.”
