Christianity is angry. This isn’t news, exactly, as the religion often is angry. But Christianity is currently angry at the Olympics in a very big way. They are very, very angry.

The true horror, however, wasn’t drag queens.

What made it a Christian apocalypse was that the drag queens posed in a way that vaguely recalled Leonardo da Vinci’s painting The Last Supper.

So that was really, really, really bad, apparently.

A graphic evoking a comparison to Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper was widely circulated…
