An austrian man dressed as a woman has just won the eurovision song contest, as a song contest its very tacky and its usually the biggest gimmick that wins. (a transsexual called dana international won in maybe 15 years ago)
But do you think things like this do the community good or harm, i'm unsure myself?
All he had to do was shave his beard and he'd have made an attractive woman, sure there'd have been intrigue but it wouldn't have caused ridicule, although the cynic in me thinks he wouldn't have won the competition as he wouldn't have stood out as much.
I'm personally not too bothered as i think everyone should be free to portray whatever image they want, but i could understand if some of those who are out of the closet and have had to deal with oppression would find it uncomfortable
