If you haven’t heard of Eurovision, you’re in for a treat. It’s basically the Olympics of music where each country across Europe nominates one singer/song combination to represent their entire country.

It also happens to be the gayest spectacle on television and here’s why:

1. Major gay icons like Abba emerged from Eurovision.

2. And Celine Dion.

3. And Conchita Wurst.

4. Double points for Conchita because she won the entire competition in drag!

5. The show also produces some major gay-club bangerz like this one.

6. Eurovision is by far the most liberal singing competition in the world.

7. It takes pride in being completely off-the-wall and quirky.

8. The production, lights and special effects are Gaga-worthy.

9. And while the gays come for the power-house female vocalists…

10. They stay for the man-dancing.

11. Oh, and costumes.

12. The continent roots for the underdog — like this woman churning butter for example.

13. The GIFs that pour out of Eurovision are arsenal for any text conversation.

14. So next year, be sure to indulge yourself in the most epically gay song contest in the world.
