some people don’t understand why conchita winning eurovision matters to me so much

this shows that europe still has hope

that there are people who won’t despise a person because they’re brave enough to be themselves out in the open for everyone to see

it helps me to believe in a future where everyone can be who they want to be, love who they want to, dress how they want to

a future where people aren’t denied a job because of the way they look, their piercings, hairstyle, tattoos etc

where people aren’t fired because they are open about their sexuality and gender 

this is showing the closeted youth or those who are still figuring things out that it’s okay to be yourself and that there are lots of people who will accept you the way you are and you won’t need to hide away

and i think that is amazing
