CONCHITA WURST

The Austrian drag queen, singer and recording artist, Conchita Wurst rose to prominence thanks to her part in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 representing her country. After winning the title, she instantly became Europe’s biggest icon in the LGBT community.

Wurst clarified the air that surrounds the gender she had. She stated that when she was talking about Conchita, she preferred hearing “she” and “her” but when talking about Thomas Neuwirth, her real name, she preferred male pronouns. Her fans pretty much used her credit cards to support her endeavor and her songs were some of the top-performing songs in Europe in recent times.
