I’m sorry did you think I had a favorite religion? All you religious folk are either insane or complacent, but I treat both the same.
Its fitting that the younger generations shy further and further away from religion, and all the old people who won’t learn anything new anymore can just sit and watch.
Wow, that’s… something. I read a bunch of articles about it, but it seems strange that nobody answers some really basic questions: Even if the scene was modeled on The Last Supper, so what? How is that mocking Christians? (I’ve seen more parodies of that painting than I can count.) The artistic director apparently denies it, so what motives are people alleging are his secret motives?
And, then, even if it was mockery, why does he (and presumably the performers) deserve death?
I never said they deserved death. I said it doesn’t make sense to push a minority into it like that.
I also said later on that this would’ve ended very differently if this same live performance happened in an Islamic country. I said that to point out that in organizations like IOC act like they can do whatever they want push whatever narrative they like more in Europe, US and other places but then when they do stuff in Islamic suddenly they change their tone. Why the double standards? Why do they believe they can obliterate all religious symbols and push for minorities in the western world but they don’t do the same elsewhere?
Even worse, why would we allow that in the western world? Note that I’m not saying Islamist are right when killing those people because of their ideologies is correct, I’m just saying the IOC and other organizations should respect the majority of people, religions and culture in the western world and act accordingly. I find it really hard to believe that there isn’t a single sane person in the IOC that could’ve just said "no you aren’t going to recreate the The Last Supper with drag queens, that makes no sense in a place where Christians are the majority and drag queens are a minority.
Nobody, and that’s kind of the point. Imagine the games were hold in the UAE, I’m 100% sure a ton people would’ve died after that performance.
What performance? (I’m out of the loop.)
ETA: I tried a search. Is this about the boxer? The rapist volleyball player? The Taiwanese fan?
I posted the photo, but yeah you can read more about here and maybe view it on YouTube.
Catholics accuse trans people of being rude to them. What an impactful article, trans people really are doing catholics dirty.
Can you remind me how catholics treat LGBTQ people?
Yeah sure, let’s try to get this minority to do a live performance on a major event on some Islamic country and then we can discuss treatment.
