The Russian government has condemned the French olympics ceremony, calling it “one giant gay parade,” as we read in the Moscow Times:

Russia on Saturday slammed the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games as a “massive failure”.

Foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova gave a long list of shortcomings at Friday’s ceremony, which was not broadcast live on Russian television.

Zakharova picked on a part of the opening ceremony featuring drag queens, interpreted by some as parodying The Last Supper. She called it a “mockery of a sacred story for Christians”, saying that “the Apostles were shown as transvestites”.

“Evidently in Paris they decided that if the Olympic rings are multi-colored, you can turn it all into one giant gay parade,” she added.

A spokesman for the Russian Orthodox Church, Vakhtang Kipshidze, also condemned this section, writing on his personal Telegram channel that it was “cultural and historical suicide”.
