With what might be the start of a made for TV drama, Conchita Wurst, the representative from Austria, has countered Aram MP3's homophic and transphobic remarks. Heute (a newspaper company out in Vienna) just came out with an article on the Austrian entries remark.

"Oje, das heißt er wird mich nicht heiraten? Um ehrlich zu sein, nehme ich das nicht sonderlich ernst, was er über mich sagt. Eines ist jedoch zu klären: Aram denkt, dass ich eigentlich eine Frau sein möchte…"

Oh, that means he won't marry me? To be honest, I didn't take seriously what he said about me. One thing is clear, Aram thinks that I apparently want to be a woman..."

When asked about her feelings toward Aram, Conchita replied with:

"Aram, mein Herz: Ich bin eine arbeitende Frau und ein wahnsinnig fauler junger Mann in meiner Freizeit und das wird sich nicht ändern. Solltest du Probleme haben das zu verstehen, setze ich mich gerne mit dir hin und erkläre es dir! Oh, was aber seine homophoben Äußerungen anbelangt… ernsthaft, DARÜBER werden wir tatsächlich sprechen!"

Aram, sweetheart, I'm a working lady, and a lazy young man in my free time and it can't be the other way. If you have problems with understanding that, I'll gladly sit and explain it to you. Oh, and concerning your homophobic remarks... seriously, ON THAT we're actually going to have a talk!

This drama fest is like a match-made in heaven. I hope it ends with the both of them hugging during the finals or something to show how much Aram has grown and to show Armenia that homophobia and transphobia is wrong.
