SUMMARY

Three drag queens were part of the 10,000 torchbearers for the Olympic flame on its journey to Paris. Minima Geste was the last to carry the torch. Geste reflected on the experience, saying, "Wow, 9 months after receiving that DM asking me to carry the flame, it's done."

Her inclusion sparked controversy, with some critics viewing it as inappropriate representation. French politician Marion Marechal expressed concerns, while Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo defended Geste against "homophobic and transphobic insults." Nicky Doll and Miss Martini also participated in the torch relay.
