Can you think of anything more fun that an event named The Conchita Wurst March For Bearded Men And Women? Yeah, no us neither. Sign us up, we're there. We'll get a J-Law beard for the occasion.
Sadly though, the march, which was planned for the 27 May in Moscow, has had it's application rejected by the city's security department as they were worried that, 'the march would provoke clashes between the gays and their opponents' (a valid point in light of public safety) and because they wish to, 'respect morality in the education of the younger generation' (erm, not such a valid point).
The march was planned by Nikolay Alexeyev, founder of Moscow Pride, to coincide with the 21st anniversary of the legalisation of homosexuality in Russia. The Guardian reports that if an appeal to reinstate the march is unsuccesful, they will attempt to merge the event with another planned pride march on 31 May. This proposed event is bound to cause a stir since Russia did a really cool thing back in 2012 and banned pride marches for ONE HUNDRED YEARS. Way to be dramatic..
This latest condemnation of the Austrian singer comes after a Russian MP threw all his toys out of the pram earlier this week and demanded Russia leave the Eurovision Song Contest and start it's own 'straight' version. Adding that Conchita is, 'an insult to most of the Russian population and any other country.'
Meanwhile, Conchita, the gender fluid sasspot with the voice of an angel? She's FINE. As she told Graham Norton this week, she's already assumed the role of host for next year's Eurovision and then she's going to set her sights on a Grammy.
