Angry homophobes took to the streets of two Iranian cities on Friday (11 May) to demostrate rumors of a homosexual pride event during next week's Eurovision Song Contest in neighboring Azerbaijan.

The kitsch European pop tournament will begin in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan in the Caucasus, on 22 May, with the grand last held on 26 May.

In January, homosexual scene website nighttours.com proposeed that a homosexual pride could take place in the city during the lead-up to Eurovision, but removed the article a few days later.

Is this the worst Eurovision song ever?



SAN Marino's Eurovision entry is taking the internet by storm - after the tiny republic released its tacky tribute to Facebook. Crooned by hopeful Valentina Monetta, the pop tune's a three-minute love song to the social network. The matching video for Facebook Uh Oh Oh shows the blonde singer clicking on her laptop while singing lines such as: "Do you wanna play cyber sex again?"

Another line says: "If you want to come to my house, click me with your mouse." The song is the 2012 entry from the smallest country in the competition, which has a population of 30,000 and an area of just 24 square miles. The video has sparked hypothesis that the Italian enclave's plannedly trying to lose because the rules say the winner have to host the following year's contest.
