It was once just a song-contest, about the songs, and thus was gay-friendly, but also everyone else-friendly.
Now, though (at the risk of repeating myself), it's become a "gay-only" thing, mainly due to the commentators on the BBC gaying-it-up.
A classic example of how "inclusivity" becomes "exclusivity" within a very short time.
How on earth would the BBC be able to do that?
More generally, the music in Eurovision, year after year, is wall to wall rubbish
These guys, for example.
It's rubbish

Indeed. Good luck Petra and Malin.
Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline.

Watched the second semi on Thursday. No surprise the Dutch guy was a bit of a sex pest, he looked like Coogan playing Savile.

No Eurovision parties here, there’s a band playing an elvis repertoire in the centre
