/ world in the present day information/ Why does the bearded singer in heels Conchita Wurst shock us?
What’s behind her triumph at “Eurovision” – the expertise, the scandal she sells or the refined coverage of imposing the third gender within the EU? Is the Bulgarian extra narrow-minded than the Westerner? And why is the “for” and “in opposition to” debate heating up amongst world leaders? “Commonplace” turned to Elsa Parini and Madeleine Algaffari with these questions. Parini is a radio host and journalist, and in 2007 she was additionally a candidate for municipal councilor from the Social Democratic Social gathering in Varna. Malden Algaffari is a psychotherapist and creator of a number of books.
We’re rooting for Azis, and Conchita is stunning us
Her Eurovision victory serves EU politics
Elsa Parini
I do not perceive why so many individuals have been stunned by the looks of the Austrian singer Conchita Wurst. Keep in mind how Aziz seemed within the first few years of her music profession. For a very long time, we too have been buzzing our bearded singer, wearing clothes, bejeweled, false eyelashes and heavy make-up. And now instantly – shock and horror due to the Eurovision winner! There may be nothing stunning about the entire story.
To be trustworthy, purely aesthetically, I do not actually like this look both. However everyone knows that “Eurovision” is a contest that works within the service of the present political wants of the European Union. After all of the hype surrounding homosexual marriage, the third gender, and many others., it is a much-anticipated subsequent step for such a significant format to be received by a transgender performer. Let’s be trustworthy – the tune is good, the efficiency was good, but it surely wasn’t the very best. If it weren’t for Conchita’s seems, she most likely would not have received first place. What stunned me extra is that I’ve seen this lady one other time, we handed one another on the streets of Vienna and she or he caught my consideration. Nevertheless, I had no concept that she was a singer. Vienna is stuffed with every kind of extravagant artwork individuals and I made a decision that she was simply one among them.
In any other case, all around the world, the query of gays and transgenders stands roughly in the identical means. Many individuals, dwelling in several international locations, wash their fingers by saying: “I’ve nothing in opposition to them, however they shouldn’t be seen in entrance of my eyes.” Properly, what is that this? How come you do not thoughts, however you may’t bear to take a look at them? Even with Putin it is like that. In Russia, every thing is only a fairy story, as a result of everybody who has been to Moscow greater than as soon as is aware of that there are and at all times have been an terrible lot of homosexuals there. Their best artists are the alternative. The Russians are merely performing on the precept of the US navy – we do not ask about it and we do not speak about it. I do not suppose Putin cares in any respect. He would not have a private place, however as a result of he’s by some means pressured by all the choices which were made on this subject within the EU not too long ago, he advertises his disapproval and could be very agency in his place. From the standpoint of the state Russia is in proper now, he can’t afford individuals to unite for any motive. As a result of when many individuals unite round a given trigger, energy loses management over them, and Putin desires every thing to be underneath his management. Nevertheless, I don’t suppose that our legislators, aside from Ataka, have any place on the matter and would attempt to take benefit in any means of the subject of transsexuals and gays. I do not even suppose they know sufficient about it to have the ability to reap dividends from it.
We like to evaluate essentially the most
Our society is far more conservative in direction of others
Madeleine Algaffari
I’ve not seen Conchita Wurst at Eurovision, nor do I do know what his orientation is. That is his freedom – to be who he desires to be. In any case, the World Well being Group way back eliminated homosexuality from the column of pathology. Additionally, we do not know if it is transvestism, as a result of these are various things. Mainly, when one thing could be very good, in addition to when it is rather irritating, it at all times attracts consideration. I.e. in purely PR phrases, it will increase the variety of targets – those that watched it. As a result of now we have a sport – some will watch it for the nice music, others for the nice singing, others for the truth that it annoys them, for the provocativeness. Years in the past, transvestite Dana Worldwide received Eurovision, however the tune was round for a very long time after the competition.
Bulgarian society is far more conservative in relation to the completely different than elsewhere on this planet. We like to evaluate – to see the destructive somewhat than the constructive in the identical factor. However the extra tolerant an individual is of his personal pluses and minuses, the extra tolerant he’s of these of others. If you happen to choose so much on the surface, ask your self questions.
