The British presenter had a gaffe in the broadcast of the Eurosong: ‘Marko is the first gay person in Croatia …’
Behind us is the first semi -final evening Eurosong in which Croatia did not secure its ticket for the finals. Marko Bosniak In the first semi -finals, he surprised fans with a new, improved performance, but it did not provide me with a pass to the finish.
The transmission of the competition was followed on YouTube as well as throughout Europe through television broadcasts. BBC transmitted Eurosong in the UK and the commentator was Scott Mills who laughed at all with his lapsus.
– And here’s Mark Bosniaks, the first gay of the person in Croatia – announced our representative of the famous British presenter. Lapsus transmitted text and Independent during the transfer of the first semi -final evening.
Although the statement provoked a salve of laughter among viewers, many noticed that Mills probably wanted to say that Bosniak was the first declared gay musician from Croatia to perform so openly. However, Lapsus quickly spread to social networks.
Recall that Marko Bošnjak spoke bravely about his sexuality in the ‘Sunday at Two’ Aleksandar Stankovicemphasizing that he is proud of his identity, but also aware that he carries a certain burden in a conservative society.
– I am aware of where we live and what the environment is. It is not surprising, but it is unfortunate at the one hand that I had to be the first to take the burden on myself. I repeat, I am proud of what I am and I want to live openly and not hide it – he said at the time, saying to evil languages: ‘I do not resent them and I think they need to reference to that Christian love they promote and fight against. They are quite contradictory, the whole of this chase is full of paradoxes. I got fun all that ‘.
Recall, with the host and the so -called. ‘Big Five’ (France, Italy, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom), to the finals go the top 10 from each of the two semi -finals. From the first semi -final evening these are Norway, Albania, Sweden, Iceland, the Netherlands, Poland, San Marino, Estonia, Portugal and Ukraine.
