Eurovision: The Kiss Must Go On

https://www.allout.org/en/actions/eurovision?utm_source=platform&utm_medium=email&utm_content=english&utm_campaign=eurovision&t=dXNlcmlkPTk4NzE0OTEsZW1haWxpZD0yMTkwNQ==


Will Eurovision censor a kiss between Finland's Krista Siegfrids and a female dancer?

Turkey has just banned the show from being broadcast and now the press reports that there is pressure on Eurovision to cancel the kiss before Saturday's final. Eurovision organisers are worried other Eastern European countries might ban the contest too.

If the kiss is censored it would be a huge victory for anti-gay voices. But if thousands of us sign the petition calling for the kiss to go on, we can show Eurovision that there will be much bigger outcry if they choose censorship over celebration.

The Eurovision final is just 2 days away. The organisers face a choice: will they stand up for a Eurovision that is about unity, creativity and fun – or will they give in to pressure from countries who discriminate against gay and lesbian people?

If tens of thousands of us sign it could be reported in newspaper articles today and tomorrow, showing Eurovision organisers that there's a public outcry demanding they keep the kiss.

All Out is a movement of 1.6 million people from all over the world – including every country who watches and participates in the Eurovision Song Contest. We know that shared experiences like Eurovision have the power to educate so many people about equality and change the conversation from hate to love.

If we speak out together now, we can make sure Eurovision stands up for what's right – and that Krista's message of love and tolerance is heard far and wide where it's needed most.

Thanks for going All Out,

Andre, Hayley, Jeremy, Marie, Mike, Sara, Tile and the rest of the All Out team.


PS: If you're having a Eurovision watching party, make sure to forward this to your whole invitation list. The more of us who speak out now, the less likely Eurovision will be to censor Krista's performance. Sign and share now: www.allout.org/eurovision
