Joe.My.God. LGBT News
Posted to the Family Research Council’s website:
The news that Snoop Dogg, an American rapper, will be carrying the Olympic torch just before the start of the opening ceremony this weekend is something many aren’t too happy about.
But stirring far more controversy than that of Mr. Dogg are the three French drag queens who carried the torch last week as part of the Olympic torch relay. The route started in Greece, worked its way to France, and ended in the city of Paris where the 2024 Olympics will be held.
And yet, even with 10,000 total torchbearers, the three drag queens — Nicky Doll, Miss Martini, and Minima Gesté — seem to have stolen most of the attention. While some left-wing voices spoke out concerning their support for the men dressed as “hyper-sexualized” women, there appears to be strong backlash.

Why have a man and a woman hold the Olympic torch when you can have two men, one of them dressed up as a hyper-sexualised cartoonish version of a woman? pic.twitter.com/ohrDXaIXdd

The Olympic torch arrives in Paris carried by a man & a man in drag. No women needed, apparently.
This is shameful & the sooner the organisers realise the majority are done with this shit the better.#BoycottTheOlympics #ProtectWomensSports

They give the Olympic flame to a man and a man dressed as a woman. Instead of choosing a real woman, they chose a man with a bunch of clown makeup and a wig.
A mockery of womanhood and insulting to women everywhere. pic.twitter.com/QrUppzTlEY
