Organizers of the Paris Olympics have apologized for any offense caused by a skit in the games' opening ceremony Friday that featured drag stars in what many viewers saw as a parody of Leonardo Da Vinci’s famous “The Last Supper" masterpiece, a similarity thatthere was"never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group" and Thomas Jolly, creative director of the opening ceremony, instead hoped to"celebrate community tolerance," according to multiple news...
She said the scene was generally well received but that organizers are"of course, really, really sorry" to anyone who was offended. The skit saw LGBTQ+ icon Barbara Butch don a silver, halo-like headdress while seated in the center of a table with other drag artists on a footbridge, while parading athletes floated underneath on the Seine.
