Candace Cameron Bure recently took to social media to express her strong disapproval of the drag performance that took place during the Olympics opening ceremony. The former “Full House” actress called the production “completely blasphemed and mock[ed] the Christian faith” and described it as “disgusting”. Bure expressed deep sadness over the performance, emphasizing her concern for the souls of those who may have rejected the gospel of Jesus Christ.
When faced with criticism and attempts to correct her understanding of the performance, Bure remained steadfast in her opinion. She specifically addressed claims that the drag performance was an interpretation of the festival of Dionysus, stating that she still failed to see the connection to the theme of unifying the world through competitive sports. Bure made it clear that she was not convinced by the explanations provided and stood by her initial reaction.
While some, like Carlos PenaVega, showed support for Bure’s stance with clapping emojis, others, such as “RuPaul’s Drag Race” alum Nicky Doll and “Drag Race France” winners, were actively involved in the performance and celebrated its impact on the world stage. Notably, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Harrison Butker also voiced his disagreement with the performance, referring to it as “crazy”.
This is not the first time that Candace Cameron Bure has faced backlash for her views. Her past comments on gay marriage being nontraditional and her remarks at Benedictine College have sparked controversy and criticism from celebrities like Hilarie Burton and Jojo Siwa. Bure has addressed the challenges of navigating cancel culture and emphasized the importance of speaking truth with love.
As Candace Cameron Bure continues to stand by her convictions, it is evident that she is unafraid to express her opinions, even in the face of opposition. While her views may not align with everyone, Bure remains committed to speaking out on issues that are important to her. The ongoing dialogue surrounding the Olympics opening ceremony drag performance serves as a reminder of the diverse perspectives and beliefs present in society.
