Drag performance resembling Last Supper at Olympic opening ceremony rankles conservatives
While some fans loved this unabashed display of French camp and kitsch, others — particularly those who espouse conservative or Christian beliefs — were not happy with it.

I'll say, people can do whatever makes them happy. I still think drag shit like that looks ridiculous.

Yeah of course, no personal opinion towards something about the LGBTQ that you might not like, right? I fully support their freedom of expression, but I still think I have the right to say dressing that way makes them look like idiots.
Just like we have the right to say that your comments make you look like an idiot.
While I agree that it's goofy, I think that's kinda the point. Sometimes you just gotta let loose and be silly. In this instance, that means putting on a show that loosely resembles da Vinci's Last Supper before having a blue Dionysus suddenly pop out of a serving tray. Is it ridiculous? Sure is, but that's what makes it fun.
(I read people saying that it was supposedly to was meant to be The Feast of Dionysus and not The Last Supper; which makes a bit more sense because then you'd be drawing entirely from Greek mythology instead of a weird mix of ancient Greek and modern Christian beliefs.)
I'd like to point out that even if they were taking full-on from the last support, I wouldn't really care. I'm not a religious person, they could be having upside down crosses and it would be the same for me. I just think the way drag queens (is it still OK to call them that way?) are just a dumb form of expression, like many more than don't belong to the LGBTQ world, but apparently nowadays expressing a negative opinion about them is taboo.
If it upsets you because you just dont like it, try not having an opinion, maybe rolling your eyes, a little tut tut, and move the fuck on
Isn't the point to look ridiculous, for the purpose of expression and entertainment? It seems like you got the point. Good job!
