Episode 122: Underrated LGBTQI+ Moments in Eurovision

It's Pride Month and it simply wouldn't do to not honor the many trailblazing queer artists and their allies that helped push Eurovision forward to greater inclusion and acceptance. We're joined by the UK's own Eurovision superfan and international drag queen, Kiki Babs, to talk about several iconic moments in the Contest's LGBTQI+ history that deserve a little more time in the spotlight. Jeremy appreciates a little intersectionality, Dimitry reveals you don't have to like a song to be an ally, and Kiki wants to be part of that world.
