Voters from across Europe on Saturday selected Austrian singer Thomas Neuwirth, better known as Conchita Wurst, as the winner of Eurovision 2014. Russian singers Anastasiya and Maria Tolmacheva took seventh place.

The Austrian singer is best-known for performing as a bearded drag queen, an act that has startled many in Russia and prompted Vitaly Milonov, a deputy in St. Petersburg's legislative assembly, to send a letter to Russia's Eurovision organizing committee asking that no further Russian performers be sent to Eurovision, as in his opinion the competition propagandizes homosexuality.

"The participation of the clear transvestite and hermaphrodite Conchita Wurst on the same stage as Russian performers on live television is obvious propaganda for homosexuality and moral decay," Milonov wrote. In July 2013, Russia passed a law forbidding the spread of "propaganda" of "nontraditional sexual relationships" among minors, a measure that has been widely criticized in the West.

Another milestone in the acceptance of all people. Yeah, I know some will hemorrhage over this but really, that's their problem.

Putin will have to kill another endangered tiger so he can feel like a "real" man.

Another troll gay thread. The only people that care what gays do are the liberals. The right doesn't really care yet the left is obsessed over it.

Luddly, your gay, we get it. What is the big deal about being gay?

 

[Iceweasel]

They look for gay partners that way.

It could be that people were actually making fun of the whole event by voting for him.
Sort of a "we're not laughing with you, we're laughing at you" kind of thing.

You really are desperate, aren't you? People were dressing in drag forever, they even made a movie about it.

I think she looks cute with a beard. And hopefully the carpet and drapes match.

These lefties are just so 1970's cutting-edge.
Somebody needs to tell them about the New York Dolls, Queen, David Bowie, Mott the Hoople, etc.
