Eurovision has seen the participation of many LGBTQ+ artists over the years, most recently, in 2024, nonbinary singer Nemo from Switzerland won the competition. Nemo revealed at the time of the competition that they were told not to bring the non-binary flag on stage, however, the artist was able to smuggle one in, according to PinkNews.
I was going to ask about Nemo and their NB flag. I had no idea that this was already an existing rule and that they were breaking rules to sneak it in. Good for them! Their song was legitimately the best one from last year, too (video).
If I recall correctly, they had their flag at their team booth after their performance, and (maybe?) brought it on stage after the votes were finally tallied and determined them to be the winner.
I do have a strong recollection of them cheerfully waving their flag during the long vote tallying process.

They should borrow Bambie Thug’s trans flag swimsuit that fae had on-stage
Nemo: “I snuck in an NB flag”
Miracle Max: “You are an NB flag!”
I watched the video but didn’t see a flag?

Which is probably why they now want to ban all non-competing country flags from all official areas including the team booth too.
