Character Controversy
In January 2014, Austrian TV decided to recommend Conchita Wurst (a bearded and transvestite singer) as an official contestant of the 2014 competition. It sparked the greatest public outrage in history and triggered a full boycott in Belarus, another European country.
Belarus is a landlocked country located in the Eastern European Plain. It is also one of the few countries in Europe that still maintains the family value of "a man and a woman forming a family." Therefore, Belarus called for a boycott of the "2014 Eurovision Song Contest", which not only prohibits its own contestants from competing on the same stage with Conchita Wurst, but also prohibits the contest from being broadcast in Belarus. As of October 19, 2013, the protest had received signatures from 1,289 people in Belarus.
In early January 2013, a public protest against it was published on change.org, an official Belarusian website.
The protest read: "The transvestite behavior of the Austrian singer Conchita Wurst is unacceptable to Belarusian society. The appearance of such a contestant in such a grand international singing competition will make Belarusian children watch this competition. In the process, I came under bad influence from some European liberals! ”
