JAANA PELKONEN APPOINTED GOODWILL AMBASSADOR OF LBGT RIGHTS

This week we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of Lordi's win in the Eurovision song contest 2006 and I will be posting some posts related to people who were involved. One who was very much involved - and even more so in 2007 as the hostess! - was Jaana Pelkonen, today a member of parliament.  She has been appointed today, the International Day against LGBT fobias, the Goodwill Ambassador against LBGT fobias by the Finnish Rainbow organisations. She has been tiressly campaigning for equal rights over the years, even saying she won't marry herself until her firends can do so, too. Congratulations Jaana and keep up the good work!

ESC 2016 ITALY: FRANCESCA BRINGS SAN REMO'S EQUAL RIGHTS RAINBOW TO EUROVISION

Remember earlier this year when the Sanremo festival turned all rainbow in silent support for the equal rights? Many, most I would say, artists had the rainbow colored ribbons in their microphone, or shoes, or wherever, no words needed. Now those ribbons make appearance on Eurovision stage with Francesca Michielin again.
