According to updated Eurovision rules, artists aren't allowed to wave any pride flags on stage. While most pride flags have already been banned last year (Nemo, for example, wasn't actually allowed to wave the non-binary flag), this now even includes the six-stripe rainbow flag.
However, before last year, it wasn't something very special to also wave a pride flag or have one in the Greenroom.

Wtf? What bonkers reasoning have they got for this?

They don’t want to upset the bigots.

but they're Eurovision - surely the bigots have been offended for the past decade already?

They don't want political controversies so the easiest thing is to just ban everything
