SOUNDBITE (English) Nemo Mettler, Swiss singer and Eurovision winner: Sheer, like, overwhelm-ness and things that my brain has never, ever had to process before. I m mostly just really grateful for this whole experience and for all the friends made along this way. This was one of the most queer representations we ve seen at Eurovision, which is like, amazing. I want to shout out all the other queer artists this year, like, give it up for everyone. And, just to be a part of it was special. And to know that a song, that has changed my life and a song where I just speak about my story, has touched so many people and maybe inspired other people to stay true to their story is the most insane thing that has ever happened to me. STORYLINE: Swiss singer Nemo won the 68th Eurovision Song Contest early Sunday with “The Code,” an operatic pop-rap ode to the singer’s journey toward embracing a nongender identity. Switzerland s contestant beat Croatian rocker Baby Lasagna to the title by winning the most points from a combination of national juries and viewers around the world. Nemo, 24, is the first nonbinary winner of the contest that has long been embraced as a safe haven by the LGBT community. “Thank you so much,” Nemo said after the result from Saturday s final was announced soon after midnight. “I hope this contest can live up to its promise and continue to stand for peace and dignity for every person.” This was one of the most queer representations we ve seen at Eurovision, which is like, amazing, said Nemo, adding that she hopes her song has inspired others to stay true to their story. Nemo’s victor .
