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 27th, we are continuing with Katrina Leskanich. She represented the United Kingdom, as part of Katrina & the Waves, with “Love Shine a Light”, taking 1st place, with 227 points. Katrina Leskanich is Lesbian. You can watch their performance of “Love Shine a Light” below:

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