Queer Collective Stages 'Rehomosexualization' Parade on Paris Bridge
In response to a Catholic prayer protesting the Olympic opening ceremony, activists held a satirical event to reclaim the space.
- The event was organized by the queer collective Les Inverti·e·s as a counter-protest to a previous Catholic prayer gathering.
- The Catholic group had gathered to 'repair' what they deemed a blasphemous act during the Olympic opening ceremony involving drag performers.
- Participants in the 'rehomosexualization' parade donned flamboyant costumes and carried humorous, provocative signs.
- The protest highlighted ongoing tensions between LGBTQIA+ communities and conservative religious groups in France.
- Police presence ended the gathering early, but organizers vowed to continue their activism with future events.
