Barbara Butch's Depiction of Jesus in Drag Queen Recreation at Paris 2024 Olympics Sparks Outrage
Jul 27, 2024, 10:26 PM
Barbara Butch, a DJ and self-described 'fat, Jewish, queer lesbian,' depicted Jesus Christ in a controversial performance during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games opening ceremony on Friday. The performance, which was part of a drag queen recreation of The Last Supper, sparked significant backlash and was deemed 'blasphemous' by many. Following the outcry, the official Olympic Games channel deleted the video of the ceremony from YouTube. Sponsors have reportedly started withdrawing their support due to the performance, which offended billions of Christians globally. Barbara Butch, who uses She/Her/Elle pronouns and comes from a traditional Jewish family, stated her aim was to 'unite people' and 'share love.'
