Das Ist *so* schwul

May 12, 2015 by V the K

Steve tipped this story, but, just for the record, I saw it earlier today but I was at work so I couldn’t do nuthin’ about it. Vienna Austria is celebrating gayness with its pedestrian lights.

Lights at 120 pedestrian crossings are receiving a quirky makeover: instead of the traditional single figure, they now show either a heterosexual or gay couple with hearts.

Officials said the revamped signals were signs of Vienna’s tolerance, celebrating not only the song contest, but also the HIV/AIDS charity Life Ball event on May 16 and the Rainbow Parade in June.

What could be gayer than gay pedestrian crosswalks? How about drag queen sewers?

Cleverly hidden stereo systems inside the gutters play Austria’s two winning Eurovision songs — one by bearded drag queen Conchita Wurst

Closet masochist that I am, I looked up Conchita Wurst’s song on YouTube. As expected, it’s godawful. To his credit though, Conchita pulls off femininity better than Hillary.

The title for this post is in, what the POTUS would call, “the Austrian language.”

    Yeah, don’t try to tell me that governments don’t try to push moralities, or the lack of them.

    I dunno… “They speak Austrian in Austria” sounds like a stereotypical Dubya-ism to me.

    Whereas Obama is the sort of prat who would say “People in Wien, the capital city of Österreich, speak German.”

    Oh, Throbert, you are so provably wrong.

    HR: I stand corrected! (But since I don’t go around saying “PAH-kee-STAHN,” I’m less embarrassed than Mr. O oughta be.)

    You must be tone deaf if you think Rise Like a Phoenix is a bad song! It’s a bit boring, yes, but a very conventional musical-esque power ballad, and Conchita hits every note correctly.

    It was not the one I voted for, but I was fine with it winning last year.
