Eurovision broadcast 'tone deaf' skit about LGBT representation
Eurovision fans were left divided on Thursday after the BBC did not show a sketch about LGBT representation from the live broadcast.The second semi-final was being streamed from Vienna, with the show featuring various pre-recorded sketches and skits between acts.Yet during the BBC's broadcast they did not show one of the Austrian sketches, instead cutting to their own package about the UK's entrant,Β Look Mum No Computer. It is not clear if the BBC were permitted to broadcast all the segments.The skit featured Austria's Eurovision host Victoria Swarovski, acting as Professor Eurovision, teaching a room full of students about the competition.In the clip, a student asked: 'W hy are there only gays at Eurovision now? Have they taken over?' to which ProfessorΒ Eurovision stated that the festival is mainly attended, worked on and enjoyed by 'straight' people.She went on to say that the aim is 'to replace all the letters in LGBTQIA+ with just one "H" for humanity'.
