"This is not in line with the EBU's values of universality and inclusivity and our proud tradition of celebrating diversity through music," the EBU said in a statement online.
"It is with regret that we will therefore immediately be terminating our partnership with the broadcaster and they will not be permitted to broadcast the second Semi-Final or the Grand Final."
O'Shaugnessy told the BBC he welcomed the decision by the EBU to cancel the broadcast.
"From the very start we've said love is love -- doesn't matter whether it's between two guys, two girls or a guy and a girl, so I think this is a really important decision by the EBU," he said.
"They haven't taken this lightly and I think it's a move in the right direction so I'm happy about it."
