I don't really want to start anything, but with the Russia contestant in ESC 15; aren't you just judging that entire performance group for a whole country? If so, doesn't that make it excusable for people to blame all Muslims for ISIS or for the shootings in America to occur because statically people who are of darker skin do commit more crimes?

russia is killing lgbtq people and making war in ukraine yet still have the nerve to send in a song about Peace n Love 

when conchita wurst won last year, russian lawmakers were talking abt making their own kind of eurovision bc this one apparently promotes nontradional families or some shit. also apparently 1 dude said he hoped russia would lose this year so none of the Gay would spread to russia so yknow (x), (x)  (i do acknowledge both of these sites are v heavy on the sensationalism, i’ll add more sources if i can) edit: 1, 2 (mostly abt belarus but honestly), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

there’s also been rumours they censored conchita’s performance this year but idk how true this is tbh 

literally no one talked shit abt the girl singing for russia. NO ONE. no one said anything negative about her. the only reason ppl were angry was bc russia is pulling some fucked up bullshit and it looked like they were getting away w it too, which, gross 

also what you’re saying literally makes no sense but yea keep spewing racist crap like no tomorrow sure just do that

My two cents on the whole Måns-is-a-homophobe-thingy:

No, he never meant it was wrong. Yes, he apologised. Yes, I think he's genuinely sorry for what he said. HOWEVER, what he said expresses a certain sentiment that is deeply rooted in most of society which is probably a rather standard opinion for most (straight) people: "Of course I'm okay with it and there's nothing wrong with the people. It's just not as normal as heterosexuality." I don't think he's a bad person, I don't think he has any problem with lgbtq+ people, I just think he's a typical (straight) person who might not always understand what exactly it is that is hurtful in what he says. Because not all people are well read on the subject of sexualities/have thought a lot about it/developed their analysis. People can support lgbtq+ rights even while they have a basic analysis of the issues the community faces and they can still mess up and say stuff sometimes that is wrong. Sometimes they get what was wrong and fix that and sometimes they might scramble a little because they're not entirely there yet. Which is all fine. The point I guess I'm going for is that: he messed up, he's fixing it, hopefully learning and that is great. But in the end it's not about Måns in particular but rather about society in general.
