At Home in Hespeler

Do you follow the Eurovision song contest? Eurovision is a nation vs. nation version of American Idol, in which each country nominates a performer and song to compete against the rest of Europe. Abba, representing Sweden, won it in 1974 with their song Waterloo. Canadian Celine Dion, in an act of musical treason so appalling most Canadian’s can’t bear to even hear of it, won for Switzerland in 1988 for Ne partez pas sans moi.

This year, Austria’s representative is a cross dressing transexual/ bearded man in an evening gown called Conchita Wurst.

Cue the angry Belarusans:

Thanks to European liberals, the popular international contest, which is to be watched by our children, has turned into a hotbed of sodomy…

Then there’s the bit about Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko saying it is “better to be a dictator than a gay.” Well, yea, it’s better to be a dictator than a lot of things, but if you live in Berlarus, and your not the dictator, maybe life isn’t quite as rosy.

Watch out Canada, if you think Belarus is upset at Austria now, wait until they find out that was Patois and not Swiss at all.
