The scene has sparked controversy online, with some people praising it for its inclusivity and others criticizing it for being disrespectful.
Those who support the scene argue that it is a powerful statement about the acceptance of all people, regardless of their size or gender identity. They also point out that the scene was only a small part of the opening ceremony, which was otherwise very respectful of Christian tradition.
However, those who oppose the scene argue that it is disrespectful to the Christian faith. They also point out that the scene was not necessary to convey the message of inclusivity, which could have been done in other ways.
The controversy over the scene is likely to continue in the coming days, as people debate the meaning and significance of the performance.
