THE CHRISTIAN POST
Christians expressed offense at the debauchery celebrated during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris that showed a ménage à trois and a depiction of The Last Supper with drag queens as Jesus’ disciples, among other symbols that rankled viewers.

Days earlier, Johnson reacted to the Olympics organizers’ decision to feature three drag queens — Nicky Doll, Miss Martini and Minima Gesté — as torchbearers. Continue reading…
