After the bearded lady Conchita Wurst won in 2014, a Russian politician said: "The result showed supporters of European integration their European future - a bearded girl". Conchita's response: "When an entire nation is scared that a young gay man with a beard who likes dressing up in women's clothes is so able to sway opinion that he could bring the whole society to the brink, I can only take it as a compliment!"
