Im fine with Nemo winning however I wish their styling was toned down. We as LGBTQ community are constantly portrayed in media with extremes. You hardly see LGBTQ professionals, hard working entrepreneurs living "regular" life with long time partner, you see more of sex*alized type of relationships, same with overly feminine almost caricature-esque portrait of Gay men in media etc.  I feel like constant showing of extremes like for example Sam Smith and their nudity and also crazy styling of Nemo etc. is bringing bad light on a community so people take us as some kind of weirdos.

It's Eurovision, every performer looks camp

straight people take us as weirdos/ped*s/degenerates no matter how we dress, act or look 

I'm happy someone who doesn't abide to cisheteronormativity can win a contest like Eurovision

Well, I wonder what society of people you live when they do ...

 

It is not like Nemo is somehow special Conchita won 10 years ago as dragqueen and Dana International in 1998 as trans

These "why don't we see more "regular" gays?" types are never gonna be satisfied.

Imagine thinking Nemo or Sam Smith are extreme in any way.  It's showbusiness, of course they're less likely look like Anderson Cooper, Pete Buttigieg or Graham Norton. Three gay guys that get constantly more media exposure than Nemo or Sam Smith ever have.

The amount of controversies that have risen out of Eurovision 2024 can actually power Italy's Black Hole Staging to fully operational status.

We've had "regular" gays being represented before (Ireland 2018), and guess what? The backlash was still the same. The performance was censored in Russia, several conservative media sites all over Europe were throwing the "they're trying to shove it in our faces!!!" argument and to this day China still hasn't returned to broadcasting the contest. And that was just two guys dancing and hugging! Yet, Eurovision stood by letting their queer participants do their thing and showcase their truth. 

 

And no, they're not special, and that's a good thing about Eurovision.

Eurovision is the only major cultural event in the world that gives queer people a chance to be unapologetically ourselves, and it actually rewards us for doing so. When was the last time a queer man won a Best Actor Oscar? We've had two queer men in the top 2 in 2019. The last non-straight woman to win an Oscar was in 1995, yet a bisexual woman won Eurovision just last year. A trans woman hadn't won a Grammy until last years ceremony, but a trans woman won Eurovision in the 1990s. Eurovision has a predominantly queer fanbase and it stands by its fanbase. Sure, Eurovision has (a lot of) problems, but as someone who found this contest and community as a lonely 11 year old gay boy more than a decade ago, it truly is a remarkable thing for queer people all over the world and we shouldn't take it for granted.
