That is true, but not in this case I feel.

Only because it’s convenient for you to make your pathetic little point.

Sorry, what?

The contest was always a bit of a freak show, but it seems to have got really weird recently. Were there any non, non-binary, LGBTQXYZ+/- participants?

I don't think that is true, past winners are Abba, Johnny Logan, Bucks Fizz (one of my favourites).

Any else find this being Sky's top headline beyond amusing?

It's a bunch of prima donna's shouting badly into a microphone.

How is that chaos and how on Earth is it given such priority?

A distract the masses type thing, maybe.

Whenever I see the Eurovision I am always reminded of the Hunger Games and the people that live in the Capitol of Panem.

ideally everyone should really say that the whole region needs to pack it in.

"LOOK EVERYONE, PACK IT IN" is certainly a banner I could march behind.

Didn't watch it but saw the news afterwards hailing the first ever transgender person to win EV.

Just looked like some camp bloke that claims to be bi sexual to me.

Dana International won in 1998. I believe that was the first trans winner.

I thought the Swiss guy claims to be non-binary, not transgender.

Was better then..
Now - all the blokes looked the same, in basques & skirts.
All of the women were identical. Same songs. Same see through outfits.
Much preferred it 20+ years ago.
Getting old!

Those were a lifetime ago.

Surprised it's still going. Nobody at work has mentioned it. Kids haven't mentioned it. Friends haven't mentioned it. Seems like one of those things the TV people are into.

And millions of people in other countries where it's a really big deal.
