Drag Queens Chosen to Carry Olympic Torch While Russian, Belarusian Athletes Banned

.

ER Editor: C’mon, we knew this had to happen. The epitome of ridiculous. And an opportunity for the societal divide to inflame and widen even more. The political Actors such as Hidalgo and Marechal are equally playing their roles.

The RT France report is machine-translated.

A reminder that the Olympic Games run from July 26 to August 11. 

Reaction on Twitter/X is typically divided, and angrily against. Again, we have a majority population who want none of this.

In France, drag queens invite themselves to the Olympic Games with their demands

RT FRANCE

Two drag queens, “Miss Martini” and “Minima Gesté”, will carry the Olympic flame in the south of France and in Paris. The first wants to “bring joy” and defend an “inclusive society”. A choice that Marion Maréchal (ER: niece of Marine Le Pen) regrets, who denounced its “vulgarity.”

After a drastic security system (we’re not sure what this is referring to), Russian (and Belarusian) athletes discriminated against, Aya Nakamura (a French-Malian singer, see featured image) for the opening ceremony, the eviction of the homeless from the streets of the capital as well as students from university accommodation, now room for drag queens: the Paris Olympics seem to be more polemical than athletic. Two drag queens will therefore carry the Olympic flame on its route through France.

Martin Namias, aka “Miss Martini”, prides himself on being the first drag queen of the relay: it will be May 11 in Digne-les-Bains, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, three days after the arrival of the flame in Marseille. “Minima Gesté”, whose real name is Arthur Raynaud, will be on the path of the flame during its visit to Paris on July 14 and 15.

“It’s an honor to be able to do it and I think it’s important that the whole world can see that in France, you can be a drag queen and carry the Olympic flame,” “Miss Martini” confided to AFP.

Hidalgo “proud” that a drag queen carries the Olympic flame

ER: Anne Hidalgo is the ‘socialist’ mayor of Paris and globalist puppet

Accustomed to eccentric outfits, as during a photo shoot which saw him “incarnate the Olympic flame” in a dress, on the day of the relay, out of obligation, he will wear the white jersey of the flame bearers. But still plans to “accessorize it all” with “a beautiful belt, beautiful heels and an incredible wig.”

He thus hopes to “put on a show, make people dance, bring joy into the eyes of the public, make them dream” over the 200 meters which will see him carry the flame, but also carry a message in favor of an inclusive society in which everyone has their place.

Translation: Perched on 25 cm heels, for performances lasting more than 2 hours, the drag queen @minima_geste is ready for her Olympic Torch relay  See you this summer, on July 14 & 15, for the passage of the Flame in the capital!

For now, Minima Gesté has been harassed online “by far-right media”, according to the mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo. “Yes I am proud and yes Paris is proud that a drag queen carries the flame and therefore the values ​​of peace and humanity,” she added. “It is obvious that the far right finds it inappropriate that a drag queen carries the Olympic flame, it is quite the opposite, it is a debate and a reflection which is opening up, it is inclusiveness which is shown,” assures Martin Namias.

Marion Maréchal denounces the vulgarity of these representations

Interviewed on May 2 on TF1, Marion Maréchal, head of the Reconquête list! in the European elections, had criticized the “particularly vulgar, hyper sexualized” representations of Minima Gesté. “Should we pretend that this represents France? I do not consider this to be a good way to represent France in the eyes of the world,” she added. The candidate denounced a few weeks ago the choice of Aya Nakamura (ER: a French-Malian singer) to sing during the opening ceremony.

Miss Martini intends to make LGBT demands heard, particularly concerning the participation of transgender people in competitions. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics saw the first participation of a transgender athlete, in the women’s weightlifting category. In November 2021, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) abdicated its responsibility for each sport, taking refuge behind “the absence of scientific consensus on the role of testosterone in performance in all sports”. A response that satisfies no one: “It’s not an OK response,” says Martin Namias to AFP. He sees it as “a way of prohibiting trans people from participating” in the category they wish. And added: “The values ​​of the Olympic Games are magnificent and universal. We are for sport and inclusiveness “all” together. Society is evolving, and I think the Olympic system needs to evolve at the same time.”
