“This is crazy. Opening your event by replacing Jesus and the disciples at the Last Supper with men in drag,” Clint Russel, the host of the Liberty Lockdown podcast, fumed on X.
“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,”
said Russel.
During the show, a group of 18 performers — including three familiar Drag Race France queens — struck poses behind what looked like a long table with the Seine River and Eiffel Tower poignantly placed in the background.
At the center was an ornately dressed woman with a large silver headdress that resembled a halo as depicted in paintings of Jesus. She smiled and made a heart shape with her hands as her peers stared down the camera before breaking out in a choreographed routine.
Tesla boss Elon Musk also slammed the performance, saying it was “extremely disrespectful to Christians.”
Plenty of other social media users applauded the performance as historic, especially after it followed three drag queens carrying Olympic torches for the first time.
Doll, along with artists Minima Gesté and Miss Martini, participated in the ritual as the flame passed through France in May, with each saying the moment symbolized unity and peace.
The Olympic drag performance comes just one day after Presidential hopeful Kamala Harris became the first sitting vice president to appear on an episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
