Well played folks, very well played indeed.
The name Conchita Wurst might not have meant a lot to a lot of people before the weekend, but it was on everyone’s lips when the drag queen inspired Austria to victory at the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday night.
One would think that society has become more tolerant of people of all gender these days, but in the aftermath of the Eurovision, Conchita attracted the ire of the Russian Orthodox Church, who felt that Conchita’s victory was “a sign of the world’s moral decline and part the aggressive assertion of Western cultural norms,” according to spokesperson Vladimir Legoyda.
The Russian Orthodox’s condemnation of Conchita
prompted a story in the UK Independent, who posted it on Twitter with the brilliant headline and picture you can see below, having taken inspiration from a similar line used by prominent Russian blogger, Rustem Adagamov.
*Applauds*
