Hi all.

What do you think of this new trend of 'Gay Ballroom Dancing' in New York?

Re: Gay Ballroom Dancing

Why not? If they enjoy it. But I think in the UK there is some plan afoot to ban same sex dancing, or is that just in competitions?

Re: Gay Ballroom Dancing

Dancing ! my favourite subject !!!

In London especially there are a few ballrooms which cater for same sex couples ... and why not

Every year in October there is a "Same Sex" ballroom competition in Blackpool at the Winter Gardens ... I've never had the opportunity to go but from the posters I've seen it looks wonderful and the rules and standard of dance are just the same as the male/female competitions.

I am certain that all the men competing will be gay and a lot of the women too but there will also be ladies who are straight but dance together because of the shortage of male partners.

In Blackpool Tower ballroom on a Wednesday afternoon you will often see men dancing together (a few gay/transvestite clubs in Blackpool) and I can promise you they dance beautifully and to a very high standard. (Sighs ... and wishes they weren't gay )

I think the ban mentioned is in connection with the likes of "Strictly" shows ...

Well ... I love it

Re: Gay Ballroom Dancing

I know this statement will be controversial but here goes.........."I tolerate same sex relationships but I don't think it's natural".

I don't know if it's natural or not... But I do know it's none of my business.

Re: Gay Ballroom Dancing

Gay or straight it is the same to me. They are all people and in this the 21st century I think it is time we dropped these silly labels.

I hope whether men or women they enjoy themselves dancing

Re: Gay Ballroom Dancing

I like gay men and know a few who are fantastic company and make me laugh so much! I love being in their company and know there's no ulterior motive in our relationship so it's not complex and we can just relax and enjoy the time we spend together
