"As of December 2019, both Hungary and Montenegro pulled out of the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 because it had purportedly become 'too gay'. Both countries had criticized Conchita Wurst in 2014. Together with the lGBT-free zones proposed in Poland, it is exemplary of the liberal/illiberal culture clash which divides Eastern Europe from Western Europe."--Sholem Stein |

The Eurovision Song Contest is an annual song competition held among active member countries of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
The contest has been broadcast every year since its inauguration in 1956 and is one of the longest-running television programmes in the world and much appreciated by lovers of campy music.
Eurovision has had a long-held fan base in the LGBT community, and contest organisers have actively worked to include these fans in the event since the 1990s.
