Do you like the Eurovision Song Contest because you are gay or are you gay because you like the Eurovision Song Contest?
Even though it’s impossible to draw any logical conclusions on the basis of such a flimsy hypothesis we find that a great number of gay men and woman all over Europe are passionate followers of the song contest.
Which leads us to the question: “Why?”
What exactly is it about the Eurovision Song Contest that makes almost 10 percent of the population worship it in the same way they worship opera, Christmas decorations, musicals and Disney films?
This is not exactly scientific research and we will not even try to give more than a hint of an answer to the question. We will, on the background of our own experience and 50 years of
glitter-overloaded TV entertainment, show how such shallow attractions can give life both depth and meaning.
