DJ Barbara Butch receives threats after queer Olympic ceremony

Lesbian DJ faces backlash after appearance at event misinterpreted by conservative critics

Barbara Butch, a lesbian DJ who took part in the drag queen scene at the Olympics opening ceremony, the most LGBT+ of all, filed a complaint with the police after receiving death, torture and rape threats.

The threats came after the ceremony was criticized by right-wing pundits, conservative politicians and Christian figures, who claimed a drag segment had mocked Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper.

Artistic director Thomas Jolly explained that the number was actually a tribute to a pagan festival celebrating the Greek god of fertility, wine and revelry, Dionysus.

Jolly said: “Dionysus is present because he is the god of celebration in Greek mythology, as well as being the father of Sequana, the goddess of the River Seine.” He clarified that the reference was an ode to wine, one of France’s cultural jewels.
