bbceurovision: Say hello to all our incredible Grand Finalists!

"The reason why we showed a pride flag in that scene [instead of our national flag] is very simple: Waving the German flag is a sign that only partially stands for solidarity, tolerance and acceptance, because sadly there are still way too many people in Germany who do not uphold these values — as you can see currently in our comment sections. So we rather wanted to show a flag that does advocate exactly these values, and say: This is way more important than our national borders."

#lord of the lost #lotl #esc #esc 2023 #yes yet another post about FLAG GATE tm #mainly because i just discovered the whole video instead of just one screenshot and found it hilarious so i had to share #also the impact of that gesture when the clip is included in a video with all the other contestants who DO show their national flags #(not that they did wrong in showing their flags although i totally agree with lotl‘s mindset of national pride being an outdated concept)#(like just cannot wrap my head around it at all but maybe that's the german in me speaking...)#also sharing again to include their beautiful statement from their q&a #what a great occasion to listen to noituLOVEr / love revolution on my way to work in a few mins #and as per usual you know the drill: the comment section under the linked twitter post is full of hate and queerphobia #so take care of yourself when clicking on the link and remember that you are loved and not alone <3
