A panel supporting a
news report of the Eurovision Song Contest named the Danish contestant
as Tomas, "the first out gay singer since 1997" (Nul points, page 5,
May 21). Tomas Thordarson represented Denmark last year. This year's
contestant, Jacob Sveistrup, is also gay.
Still on the Eurovision Song Contest, we referred to the French contestant Ortal and "his French rap song". Ortal is a woman (Grandma ratify my constitution, G2, page 6, May 24). The same piece gave Ireland's 1992 winning song by Linda Martin as I Am The Voice. It was Why Me? The former song (the title of which is just The Voice) was Eimear Quinn's 1996 winner, also for Ireland.
