Eurovision bans pride flags on stage
According to updated Eurovision rules, artists aren’t allowed to wave any pride flags on stage. While most pride flags have already been banned last year (Nemo, for example, wasn’t actually allowed to wave the non-binary flag), this now even includes the six-stripe rainbow flag. However, before last year, it wasn’t something very special to also wave a pride flag or have one in the Greenroom.

Neo-Nazi Ex-Trump Dinner Guest Rages At Trump For Admitting He Lost — ‘You Deserve To Be Charged!’
> So why did we do stop the steal? Why did anyone go to January 6th? Why is anyone sitting in jail? Why did anything bad happen to anybody? Why did everyone get censored? Why is everything bad that has happened to the people that are involved? Why did that need to happen? If you’re just going to walk it all back and say, “oh, I lost.” > Well, that would have been good to know that before 1600 people got charged! It would have been good to know that before I had all my money frozen, put out a no fly list, banned from everything, lost all banking and payment processing! > Would have been good to know that. Before I, you know, in 2017, dedicated my life to this as an 18 year old in college. Just feels like a big rip off! (Full transcript and video on the linked site.)

Eurovision 2024 Grand Final Live Thread
Just like with the semi-finals, this is the live thread for the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. As there is (to my knowledge), no Lemmy equivalent to https://reddit-stream.com/ [https://reddit-stream.com/], the best alternative is refreshing the website about once after each song. This should still be okay for now as this community is relatively small.

Joost Klein Thread | AVROTROS releases statement
As there are so many posts about this topic and it’s getting a bit out of hand, I’ll create one central place where we can talk about this stuff and share updates. If there are very big updates, I might create a new post as the new megathread but for now, please don’t create new posts for updates but post them here as comments. Latest news: AVROTROS (the Dutch broadcaster) released a statement [https://www.avrotros.nl/article/nederland-gediskwalificeerd-van-eurovisie-songfestival~527/]. The full statement is in the comments but roughly, they state that against made agreements, Joost Klein was filmed directly after getting off the stage and getting to the greenroom. He indicated he didn’t want to be filmed, but this was not respected, leading to a threatening movement from Joost towards the camera, but he did not touch the camera women. This was the whole incident leading to the investigation by EBU and police, according to them.
