In a politically charged night in the Swedish city of Malmo, Nemo, a 24-year-old Swiss musician who uses they\/them pronouns, claimed the top spot after dominating the jury section of the vote to beat out the audience favourite, Croatia&#8217;s Baby Lasagna.<\/p>\n<p>The Eurovision&#8217;s traditionally carefree tone was clouded by booing and demonstrations from protesters who wanted Israel excluded from the contest because of its government&#8217;s military campaign against Hamas in Gaza. Israel&#8217;s contestant, Eden Golan, placed second in the popular vote and wound up fifth overall.<\/p>\n<p>Nemo&#8217;s victory came a year-and-a-half after the Swiss government rejected proposals to create a third gender or non-specific option for official records, arguing that a binary gender model was still &#8220;strongly anchored&#8221; in Swiss society. Sibel Arslan, a Swiss Green Party lawmaker who launched a legislative proposal in 2017 to overhaul rules to enable non-binary designations, hailed Nemo&#8217;s victory. &#8220;A non-binary person who officially doesn&#8217;t exist in Switzerland has won Eurovision 2024 for us all with #BreakTheCode,&#8221; Arslan wrote on X, referencing Nemo&#8217;s winning song &#8220;The Code&#8221; at the musical extravaganza. Her proposal, she said, is now &#8220;more relevant than ever&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>An Ipsos LGBT Pride online poll, opens new tab in 2023 stated that 6% of respondents in Switzerland identified as either transgender, non-binary, gender-fluid or differently from male or female, the highest proportion among the 30 countries surveyed. &#8220;The Code&#8221;, Nemo&#8217;s drum-and-bass, opera, rap and rock song, describes their journey of self-discovery as a non-binary person, which the artist brought to a crescendo in Malmo while balancing precariously on a large, tilting revolving disc.<\/p>\n<p>The youth wing of the Green Liberal Party said Nemo&#8217;s success was a triumph for Switzerland and non-binary people. &#8220;It&#8217;s time that Switzerland broke with its binary gender designation,&#8221; the group said on X. Still, a nationwide survey last year, opens new tab by polling firm LeeWas for media 20 Minuten and Tamedia showed 62% of the Swiss public were broadly opposed to the introduction of a &#8220;third gender&#8221; designation on official documents, with only 35% in favor.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/nemos-eurovision-win-fires-up-swiss-advocates-non-binary-rights-2024-05-12\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/nemos-eurovision-win-fires-up-swiss-advocates-for-non-binary-rights\/\">Nemo\u2019s Eurovision win fires up Swiss advocates for non-binary rights<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[14481,555,14482,14483,14484],"class_list":["post-130323","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-advocates","tag-csr-news-en","tag-eurovision-song","tag-nemo","tag-non-binary-rights"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130323","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130323"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130323\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130323"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
