00:00The champion, the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, Switzerland!
00:12It makes me incredibly proud, not for me but for our whole community, for everyone out there who's non-binary, gender fluid, transgender,
00:25people that are daring to be themselves and people that need to be heard and need to be understood.
00:35We need more compassion, we need more empathy, we need to listen to each other, we need to try to understand each other
00:41instead of talking about each other, we need to talk with each other.
00:47And I think that is really important and I hope that tonight can be a way of remembering that.
00:55I have to say this whole experience was really intense and not just pleasant all the way.
01:11There were a lot of things that didn't seem like it was all about love and unity and that made me really sad.
01:21There was so much love here as well and there was so much coming together and there was so many different cultures meeting
01:30and people that just are full of positivity, love for music and that really gave me hope.
01:41And I know these people exist and they exist in the world but we need to work to create such an environment
01:50and we need to ask ourselves what is such an environment and what do we want to stand for?
01:55And I really hope that Eurovision continues and can continue to stand for peace and love in the future.
02:06And I think that needs a lot of work still.
