Victorious
Conchita Wurst from Austria kicked some bigots asses yesterday by winning the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 with by far the highest score.
Austria came in first with 290 points, followed by The Netherlands with 238 points and Sweden in third place with 218 points.
Conchita received the coveted "douze points" from no less than 13 countries and the second highest, ten points, from seven other countries. She received points from every country (with the exclusion of her own Austria) except Armenia, Poland and San Marino. Good going, gurl!

Nifty Trick & More
Another good thing I learned today was the meaning of the word "facetious". I have stumbled upon it from time to time earlier but have neglected to check it's meaning earlier.
Facetious, /fəˈsēSHəs/, adjective: treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor; flippant.

...And The Winners Will Be...
It's the annual high point in many gay European men's year tonight, the finals of the Eurovision Song Contest. I'm staying away from those parties because I don't like the music one bit and everything gets a bit over-the-top and "gala" for me to feel happy and comfortable.
If there was any justice whatsoever in the world this song would be allowed to compete again this year and would win this time around (mostly because of the song but a little because of the cute guitarist and, to be quite honest, the singer/composer too).
...but as I am not expecting miracles in this unfair and unjust world, my second favorite for winning tonight is this one.
I want the Russians and the other homophobes and transphobes out there to get a wake-up call and have their bigotry rubbed in their faces, so I will vote for it ten times although I don't like the song that much.
