"The Eurovision say they allow nation flags and the Pride Rainbow flag. They do not allow political flags." Well I'll call this one out: only participating nation flags, the rainbow and the pride flags. They don't allow Palestinian flags. Still strange that they say they're apolitical but have banned Russia. That's not happened in the past afaik. | |||
