As an Australian when I heard we got love and started crying that Jessica malboy got what she deserved, her amazing song finally being recognized

[@pdx123]

I cried twice, when Jessica performed it live at World Pride Sydney and again when it popped up in this wonderful interval act

[@Pierre-Yves12]

This song was so underrated. She was my n°2 this year.❤

[@maxfeijen7784]

One of the best and most important interval acts in Eurovision history. Especially now in a time that drag queens are under attack in so many countries, the BBC decided to give them a platform. Incredible performance

[@LA90598]

100% the BBC are very supportive of Drag, always have been from Lily Savage with her own prime time shows in 97/98 to Drag Race UK in 2023 and now this. Great LGBT broadcaster, such a shame so many countries didn't show this. The media on the right are trying to defend the BBC but it needs to stay.

[@AmaanStorm]

@@LA90598 the BBC are actually horrendous. Yes it's great that they're supporting Drag/LGBT stuff, but they're a dark organisation with so many skeletons in the closet. Don't turn them in to some sort of 'martyr' because they have been complicit with a lot of the wrong doings that have been exposed, which they've desperately tried to conceal and erase to save their skin.

[@alasdairw]

So great to see the underrated and underscored Eurovision entry ‘We Got Love’ being used in this.

@Meima what makes you so uncomfortable, nothing sexual here, no reason for it to be considered immoral or inappropriate. You are brainwashed by right wing media who’s trying to create conspiracy theories about the LGBT community and playing on your fears and misunderstandings.

A question for the haters, how does someone else living their own life actually affect yours? The answer is it doesnt so sod off and find something more productive to do and stop hating on people. The problem with the world is not drag queen or LGBTQ+ community its all the law breaking citizens of the world, and all the negativity, you the haters spread

[@wokechoppa3821]

It’s not them just living their own life at this point. It’s literally almost being promoted to be this way which is sickening. Like they are men dressing up as girl thots. Just so weird 😂
