That is how another article in Iltalehti today is headlined. Talking about the gay in Eurovision. Or actually in the fan base. For many gaymen the Eurovision is an annual pilgrimage for partying, sex and making contacts.
Finnish Kalle tells he has been to Moscow, Oslo and now Dusseldorf and it’s very good, especially after homophobic Moscow as a gay man who’s single during these weeks. The city is full of saunas, bars and sex is available easily, for free or for cash. He says he spends about 3000 euros a week there. He also ads there could be more fights and sly games like the Russian and Swedish fight this year, and Norway complaining the Eastern Europe didn’t like the African rhythms.
Two German gay couples Stefan & Peter and Sven & Henrik are also interviewed. They have been to Helsinki, Moscow and Athens before. They think the Helsinki 2007 was the best: many gay bars and good local transport, and one could walk to the hotel afterwards. As couples they are not interested in available sex, music and international atmosphere are more important. They spend some 3000-4000 euros each during the week. Another Finn Antti who lives in Hamburg says he already had contacts and company thanks to gay chat lines and his phone has a dating service, a real Gaydar so he has been busy.
And the partying and boozing and sex goes on.... still afor couple of days.
