Neither Last Supper or Olympics are Politically Neutral

Having drag performers centre stage at the Olympics, on one of the biggest stages in world theatre, is not a politically neutral act. Being able to have that act understood as referring to Jesus and the twelve apostles is not a politically neutral act. Doing this in France, with the ascendancy of the Far Right and its alliance with conservative Christianity, is not a politically neutral act. It is about taking sides. The side of broadening the boundaries of inclusion.

This I believe: A mosaic family

When we diminish one, we are all diminished.
When we injure one, we are all injured.
When we exclude one, we all suffer.
When we celebrate one, all are celebrated.
When we welcome one, all are welcomed.
When we love one, we love all, and all are loved
