Sam Ryder took second place for the UK in this year’s competition (PA)
(Picture: PA Wire)July is a bit like dry January for us gays. Pride month has ended and the streets of Soho have been returned to the tourists and theatre-goers. Just when we’d managed to scrub the last specks of glitter from our scalps, queer Santa brought us a gift: the UK is to host next year’s Eurovision song contest. The news comes after months of speculation and whilst it was Ukraine which won last year’s competition, they can’t host because of the Russian invasion.
But before we scramble for our carabiner clips and Dr. Martens, we must first put on our boxing gloves… it’s the fight of the British cities and the claws are coming out. If Pride is our Christmas then Eurovision is our thanksgiving.
