I think it is about time folks stopped taking such an interest in people's private business. Live and let live.
Why did the BBC feel the need to make a news item out of a same sex pair competing on the show? Were they looking for acceptance from the loyal supporters of the programme? Or were they just bunging in a bit of extra advertising with their sensationalism? I don't want to turn on my TV and get a lesson in homosexuality, I just want to watch some quality dancing.
Strictly has stooped as low as F1 with their 'Giving it the knee' and black lives matter theme, I couldn't care less about 'Black Lives Matter' I just want to watch some blokes race each other around the racetrack in fast cars. I don't want a lesson in the struggles of the black man through the ages, there are history channels for that. It's been so refreshing to watch the 'Tour de France' no knee, no queers or themes, just honest to goodness sport in what I consider to be, one of the hardest races in the world.
