Tigran Moses,

where are you from? i can't believe you are from Europe.... you must be from an unkown Planet, very small one, with just a few people like you, i hope... you cannot be European since you are so.... so... so.... there's no words!

Hey guys let's forget about this man, who is probably gay and he doesn't know, because we are better Europeans citizens than he is!

P.S. - ESC do not diserve to have a fan like you! GO AWAY!

i think that tigran meant by "such things" - gay parades, not gay people. if there are no gay parades and a person likes it - i dont see a problem. i also would not want to have gay parades.

I totally agree with you Marc on this. Without gays there is no Eurovision. I myself grew up with gay men introducing ESC to me, they were big fans. And I'm happy they have transmitted me this virus ;)

@Tigran

You're not going to win many frineds gay-bashing on an ESC website - I think you're a bit outnumbered.

I was worried the ESC would go down the pan after Dana International in 1998. The gays were stealing my song contest and turning it into a pride event. - What an idiot that makes me sound now. It's been transformed from a small, uptight tv show (that's television show) into a huge festival.

Thanks for making it fun guys - see you in Belgrade.

To all homophobes I wish only one thing, get married and I really do hope that one or more of your children will be gay and then we'll talk again. I hope you are happy in your little world.

Well I have to say ppl in Serbia are very homophobic... there is no doubt in that. No meter if they are older or younger, man or women..

I can say that for Montenegro as well... Montenegro is more conservative than Serbia because it's small country.

I hope one day things will get right for everyone !!! Peace ;)

@ Allan

And gays are not arresting in my country as well. It was fighting because nationalists attacked gays, but there were police, who maintained both sides in security.

@ Allan A

Poland is homophobic country but do not say that we dont have Gay Pride... Thanks to European Union we are able to have Gay Prides and we have it in Poland.

Unfortunately, 3 years ago a very homophobic person was chosen to be a president of Poland. And his brother (who surely is gay but it doesn't mean that he is gay-friendly) was a Prime Minister. They tried to bring Middle Age to Poland.
Finally this government lost :) And i hope it will change positively in Poland in future

I dont think it really matters where Tigran Moses comes from and come on guys, lets not be so shocked, Homofobia exists in almost all of non Western countries, be it Armenia, Turkey, Russia, Poland, Serbia, BH, Georgia, Albania, Ukranin ect...

We all know that there is no Gay Pride in eastern europe and the few times ppl try 2 hold it in Russia and Poland it ended up in fights and police arrest, so it doesn`t really matter where Tigran is from it`s just said that there r only few countries in Europe and all of them in West where gays have normal human rights

Tigran Moses:
How disrespectful of you to speak like that. What do you mean by "such idiotic things", are you referring to the Pride Festivals? I can tell you that the Stockholm Pride is a fantastic yearly event which attracts all people, gay and straight. The Schlager Pride last summer was crowded. Imaani, Liliane St. Pierre, Sylvia Night, DQ, Marija are but a few of the past ESC contestants who performed on the night.
BTW, I'm a straight woman.

some people from some countreys who lives in 18 century cover there homosexuality just to say bad things for the other gays , so nobody do understand that they are gays too (that happens in some countreys and thanks god not in cyprus). the europians they are not homofobians ( at least most of them) , so i thing countreys who dont accept the freedom of personality, and they dont respect the humans rights they dont have place in europe and in eurovision song contest! thank u

@ Tirgan

Which village do you come from? :D I don't know any country without gay people. More... Everywhere is similar percentage of gays in society... Your way of thinking should be really narrow. If you don't know any homosexual person (or just nobody told you that is not straight) do not think that homosexuals don't exist. Your way of perceiving world is very old-fashioned... Here are many West Europeans, whose hierarchy of worths is much modern and open-minded so it's preferable you to use forums for the underdeveloped...

@Yidas
He signed under Armenian name Tigran. But I'm not sure that he lives in Armenia. There are many gays in Armenia and they are very free. At least in Yerevan, capital city. ;) And I love gays. Tigran, you shut up boy!

@Tigran Moses
It doesn't mean if you don't know any gay around you that they do not exist. I have lots of gay friends and I love them. Get real, you are gay too! ;)

Tigran Moses -

Oooh my! You are so poor.... :( I realy feel sorry for you! Why shouldn't gay ppl not bee good persons?! I think this contest is wrong for you, for you realy will have probs not meeting any gays when you have something to do with ESC!

What a stupid ignorant comment. If thats the way you feel, fine, but don't go around posting it on a forum where it isn't needed. And I think you probably do have homosexuals in your country, so don't feel too smug :P
