It’s June and it’s Pride month. Here at Eurovision Ireland, we are going to highlight some of the LGBTQ+ artists to have participated in the Eurovision Song Contest.

For June 8th, we are continuing with Iolanda. She represented Portugal with “Grito”, taking 10th place with 152 points. Iolanda is Lesbian. You can watch her performance of “Grito” below:

Lesbian refers to a woman who is attracted to women. Some women define themselves as gay rather than lesbian.
