The grandma reference obviously went right over your (youthful) head.
I just prefer watching all the couples as male/female I think it’s easier to compare them against each other that way too. I love seeing the dresses and suits and how they match together and how the male and female bodies compliment each other through movement.
Hit the nail on the head. Tick the box for the snowflake generation who have to have every minority ever resprented!
Graham Norton also questioned the need for same sex pairings on the show - he’s a gay man, is he homophobic tooThe grandma reference obviously went right over your (youthful) head.
I wasn't insinuating you, the poster, are a grandmother.
The only other people I have heard talk about the same sex dancers on Strictly have all been women over a certain age, with the same 'sucked on a lemon' expression and insistent that they are not homophobic.
And dancing is, and always has been, an expression of love.
Unfortunately, that's what happened with my psychiatrist. She just gave me some pills and appointments for the psychologist on which I didn't do much, to be honest
.Speaking as someone who's gay it's really nice to see representation on a prime time TV show. I think if I'd seen two guys dancing together on national TV when I was a teenager I'd have felt a lot better about my sexuality growing up.

These are the best biscuits, anyone who says otherwise is mentally ill and deserves to be fed on nothing but fig rolls, McDonald’s salad and low cal jelly for the rest of their days, sorry huns.
There’s been loads of gay people on the show over the years they have been in male/female pairings. I don’t have a problem with gay people being on the show. I agree it’s good to see representation of real life everywhere and tv is an important place to start I just also think it’s important not to do it in a token way so it isn’t seen as box ticking so it doesn’t lose its meaning.Speaking as someone who's gay it's really nice to see representation on a prime time TV show.

Besides, it's one couple a year and heterosexuality is the default in 99% of TV shows and films - so it's nice to get something.
you know it’s said with love…… and concern for your sanityThank you. That's made me feel all warm and fuzzy

jelly…. Jelly?I'm not offended. I simply disagree with your view.Graham Norton also questioned the need for same sex pairings on the show - he’s a gay man, is he homophobic too
What is with this dangerous territory that we cannot voice an opinion on someone who isn’t heterosexual without being called phobic to some tune. Someone said above they didn’t like Oprah does that make them racist?! No. It’s just a preference, I like watching male female pairings and think they compliment each other well. There have been plenty of people who aren’t heterosexual take part in strictly as part of a male|Female pairing but just you carry on being offended. You’re in good company.
That’s fine you can disagree without calling me homophobic as that is offensive to people who have actually experienced homophobia.
Oh yeah, if a gay person wants to dance with someone of the opposite sex, then of course they should get that opportunity. But if they prefer and feel more comfortable dancing with someone of the same sex I see no issue with that either. It's good it's an option, rather than enforcing a particular choice on them.
They do ones with a creamy filling and they are amazing.
