At the time of this writing, controversy recently erupted at the beginning of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, in which a group of “drag queens” appeared to represent the last supper of Jesus and His apostles. (Pictures of this are currently all over the internet, but I decided they were too vulgar to display on this website.
