9. Conchita Wurst
Conchita Wurst is an openly gay Austrian pop singer and drag queen portrayed by Tom Neuwirth. He/she is noted for his/her striking beauty and beard (pronouns are a challenge with this one!). Wurst hit the international spotlight by winning the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest with the ditty Rise Like a Phoenix. Right-wing conservatives were unsettled by the bearded beauty, but the controversy and attention has made Wurst a LGBT icon. About winning the Eurovision, Wurst has said, “It was not just a victory for me but a victory for those people who believe in a future that can function without discrimination and is based on tolerance and respect.”
