There is definitely a substantial gay following that associates itself with the contest, no doubt about that, but Eurovision has historically had such a huge diverse worldwide audience that it's never going to be a 'purely gay' one ..... it's just one of those shows that few people ever admit to watching, but so many people actually do!It was never any good even when we were winning it. It was always a joke.
Nowadays we never qualify which is a great excuse not to bother watching.
But without wishing to cause offence, I seriously thought that for quite some time now, it was a competition that if not explicitly for gays, was only really watched by that audience.
It does seem to have morphed into a celebration of inclusivity. It's always been a bit camp but stepped up a gear with Graham Norton presenting (UK) and that Jewish bird with the beard and cock winning it a while back.It was never any good even when we were winning it. It was always a joke.

That the BBC continues to throw millions of our money at this complete farce is absolutely disgusting, the government should stop them from doing it.
I am one of the dwindling few who still pay the license fee and I don’t want my money used this way.
I think this is an incredibly arrogant stance to take.
I am also a license fee payer, and I enjoy watching it. So where does that leave us? Are we all just supposed to listen to you as the grand arbiter of what the BBC can and can't show?
Fair enough just can not stand the shit songs, the non-european countries, the political voting and I was pissed off with City which made matters worse.I think this is an incredibly arrogant stance to take.

I've never liked Doctor Who - but I'm quite happy to accept that not every program on the BBC is aimed specifically at me. I don't go around saying it's "disgusting" that the BBC continues to drone on about The Traitors 24/7 even though I think it's shite.
Why are people obsessed with calling things like they don't like "disgusting" these days? It's okay to just not like things and move on with your life, you know? People just like different things. It's not that deep.
Makes you wonder what will happen to Eurovision '26, eh...?
Sadly, I predict this year's competition is going to be one of the blandest on record. I think there's a lack of variety, lots of ballads and forgettable pop numbers. Obviously, there are always some exceptions - so I'll be hoping one of those wins.
And a big lack of harder rock and metal numbers after last year the only metal act came last (totally unjustified in my view - it was miles better than the UK entry).
Any ?
I'm a big Eurovision fan, and have been for as long as I can remember, but I see five countries have already pulled out of this year's contest thanks to Israel taking part, so i'm wonderin how many more countries might be joining them in the next few months ... if too many do pull out we might even see it cancelled.
