Conchita Wurst sang at The George in Dublin last night but, before her performance, she gave a short interview but very interesting interview to Independent.ie.
During it, when asked about equal marriage in Ireland, Conchita said:
“I have to say this whole equal marriage stuff annoys me to death because a perfect society for me will be when we don’t have to talk about sexual orientation, the colour of your skin or which religion you are”.
“This is so not important, and for me I don’t need to discuss whether gays are allowed to marry each other or not. It is a human right to love whoever you want to love, so I don’t need to talk about that.”
And you have got to admit, she is correct. After all, I have never understood why it is anyone’s business who somebody loves or who they want to marry. As long as it is between two consenting adults and isn’t hurting anyone, how is it anyone else’s business but theirs?
For more on what Conchita Wurst had to say while in Dublin, and some very pretty pictures of the lovely Ms. Wurst, head over to the Independent.
