Queer ESC Day 65: Olly Alexander

Also known as Years and Years, Olly Alexander (he/him) is Eurovision's third first openly nonbinary singer. Though somewhat forgotten since he still uses binary pronouns, Alexander is a well known British singer and actor whose 2024 performance was very explicitly gay. The Israeli broadcaster called for him to be disqualified after he signed a ceasefire petition, but the BBC determined that an artist's personal beliefs are not grounds for disqualification.
