Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony Faces Backlash
The Paris Olympic Committee and artistic director Thomas Joly have defended the opening ceremony against backlash from religious groups, particularly Christians, who perceived a scene resembling Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper as mocking. Joly clarified that the ceremony aimed to celebrate diversity and inclusion, with no intention to offend any religious community, despite criticism from various conservative and religious leaders. The ceremony featured a tableau with drag queens and was described as a 'pagan party' linked to Olympian gods, which drew ire from figures such as Marion Maréchal and NFL player Harrison Butker. Joly emphasized France's commitment to artistic freedom and the right to express love and belief in diverse ways. While the event has received significant criticism, many in France have supported the artistic choices made. The organizers expressed regret for any offense caused, reiterating their focus on celebrating cultural diversity.
