The claims made in the tweet by Piers Morgan suggest that a drag queen performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics mocked the Last Supper, a significant Christian event, and questioned whether other religions would be similarly mocked. The performance did indeed feature drag queens in a scene that many interpreted as a parody of Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper,' which sparked significant controversy and backlash from religious and conservative groups. According to Crux Now, the performance included 18 drag performers posing behind a long table, reminiscent of the Last Supper, and was criticized by various religious leaders. NBC News reported that the scene was defended by the artistic director as a display of inclusion and diversity, not intended to be subversive. Forbes noted that the scene was part of a broader trend of right-wing criticism against drag performances and LGBTQ messaging. While the performance was controversial and offensive to many Christians, it was not universally interpreted as a mockery of the Last Supper, with some seeing it as a nod to Greek mythology. The claim that other religions would not be mocked in a similar way is speculative, but it is worth noting that freedom of expression in France has historically included controversial depictions of various religious figures, as seen in the Charlie Hebdo cartoons. Therefore, while the performance was provocative and offensive to many, it was part of a broader context of artistic expression and inclusion.
