As a Christian, I’ve always considered it disrespectful that the Last Supper portrayed Jesus & pals as white, when that is demonstrably false. So the drag queen party didn’t even register to me.

The artwork was done by a known Christian artist who explained his intention quite admirably. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2009/04/02/the-last-supper-parody-turning-heads-in-old-town/ Kevin M.
