Slovakian deputy prime minister to BOYCOTT Paris Olympics closing ceremony following controversy over offensive Last Supper depiction

08/05/2024 / By Laura Harris

Slovakian Deputy Prime Minister Tomas Taraba has decided to boycott the closing ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics on Sunday, Aug. 11, after the opening ceremony was lambasted worldwide for its tasteless depiction of Jesus Christ’s Last Supper.

During the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics on July 26, drag queens, trans people, a nude singer and a man in blue body paint intended to represent Bacchus, the Greek god of wine, portrayed the biblical scene of Leonardo Da Vinci’s famous painting “The Last Supper.” The lavish opening show was staged along the Seine River in the French capital.

Olympic organizers initially claimed the performance was meant to promote inclusivity and challenge violence. But when it sparked outrage among Christians, the organizers issued a half-baked apology and claimed no disrespect was intended.

In line with this, Taraba, who was meant to attend the closing ceremony as the Slovakian government’s representative, decided to boycott the event. Taraba accused the Olympic organizers of presenting “a disgusting exhibition full of LGBTI ideology and insults to the symbols of Christianity.”

“I was supposed to represent Slovakia at the closing ceremony, but for the normal world, this Olympics will forever remain a symbol of degenerate decadence, which abused the beauty of sport and turned it into progressive political theater. Therefore, I decided not to participate in the closing ceremony,” Taraba posted on Facebook on July 28.

Opening of the 2024 Paris Olympics dubbed “the gayest opening ceremony ever”

Aside from “The Last Supper” mockery, the 2024 Paris Olympics launched its opening ceremony with an elaborate street dance scene.

The opening dance number featured women performing on poles as rain fell on the ceremonies and a scantily-clad, bearded drag queen provocatively dancing on the runway. Others danced in the streets, including men affectionately embracing each other on one of the many bridges across the Seine River in Paris.

One prerecorded dance segment was even more explicitly LGBTQ-themed. In this segment, three dancers in gender-ambiguous costumes ran through the streets of Paris and into a building. The scene culminated with the three dancers — two males and one female — sharing dramatic kisses and then entering a room together for further intimate acts. The segment concluded with one of the dancers looking back at the camera and slamming a door, signaling their intention to engage in more intimate contact.

In line with the opening, the 2024 Paris Olympics earned the title “the gayest opening ceremony ever” after the LGBT community dominated the stage that day.

“This is the gayest opening ceremony ever. Didn’t they ban Grindr in the Olympic Village tho?” one user posted on X.

Marion Marechal, a member of the European Parliament for France, even denounced the performance.

“To all the Christians of the world who are watching the Paris 2024 ceremony and felt insulted by this drag queen parody of the Last Supper, know that it is not France that is speaking but a left-wing minority ready for any provocation,” she posted on X.
