Critics are so wrong about this queer Olympics Opening Ceremony moment

Critics ranging from online trolls like Andrew Tate and Elon Musk to far-right politicians like Marion Maréchal and celebrities like Rob Schneider and Harrison Butker are calling out the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony for allegedly making fun of Christianity and The Last Supper with a drag-queen-filled dance party performance scene on a bridge over the Seine River. 

But there are two giant things that all of these people are getting wrong about the scene in question (spoiler: it’s not actually even about The Last Supper) and about the Olympics in general. 

Senior editor Mel Woods explains how all of this controversy is unfounded, and how we shouldn’t be all that shocked that the Olympics are doing something gay—they always have been.
