Swiss singer Nemo wins controversy-plagued Eurovision Song Contest

Swiss singer Nemo won the 68th Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday night with "The Code," an operatic ode to the singer's journey toward embracing their nongender identity.

Nemo beat Croatia's Baby Lasagna to the title by winning the most points from a combination of national juries and viewers around the world.

"Thank you so much," Nemo said after the result was announced. "I hope this contest can live up to its promise and continue to stand for peace and dignity for every person."
