The opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics has sparked controversy after a performance parodying Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper' featured drag queens, which many Christian groups found offensive. Mississippi telecommunications company C Spire has announced it will withdraw all advertising from the Olympics, expressing shock at the portrayal, which they deemed mocking of Jesus Christ. The ceremony, which included performances by stars like Celine Dion and Lady Gaga, drew criticism from various conservative and Christian leaders, including Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves and House Speaker Mike Johnson. Donald Trump Jr. labeled the event as 'satanic', criticizing the incorporation of what he called 'woke ideology' into the games. The backlash highlights growing tensions between artistic expression in public events and religious sentiments among conservative communities. The incident has ignited discussions on the role of traditional values in contemporary cultural expressions.
