Eurovision host donates salary to LGBT + Charity
The host explained that he would have presented the competition for free. He said: "Presenting the Eurovision for money is definitely something that I will not do. It is my pride to represent the country with respect. If you can do something good with the salary they pay, why not?" "
The host said that he has supported the Israeli Gay Youth for years. "It goes without saying that I will do everything I can to help with the holy work that [Israeli Gay Youth] does." He added: "These groups serve as a safe place for thousands of teenagers from around the country, where they can meet, discuss things and solve problems that concern them, especially with regard to gay issues."
