Eurovision drag diva Conchita Wurst met UN chief Ban Ki-moon in Vienna to call for an end to discrimination based on sexual orientation.<br /><br />Ban announced the extension of same-sex benefits to all UN employees, saying discrimination has no place in the United Nations.<br /><br />“I will stand strong for equality. I hope all of you join our global, free and equal campaign. As Conchita said on the night of her victory (Eurovision Song Contest), I quote: ‘we are unstoppable,’” he said.<br /><br />The Austrian singer added:<br /><br />“I dream of a future where we don’t have to talk about sexual orientation, the colour of your skin, your religious beliefs – because this is not important when it comes to society. Of course it’s important for the human being, but it’s not important for society.”<br /><br />Since winning Eurovision, Wurst has made several public appearances to promote LGBT rights, despite attracting criticism from social conservatives.
