Franck ... can you move this discussion to a new thread?
Sorry ... but I'd have to say I have some sympathy with this latter category. I'm NOT homophobic but will openly admit that I do feel 'uncomfortable' around very camp lads and especially transvestites ... I don't feel threatened ... just don't like it .. and thats my right as an individual. I may enjoy dancing with lads as a bit of a laugh but please don't expect male dancers to relish the prospect of a 'serious' dance with a transvestite.
As sad as it may be I've heard of at least one Modern Jive club that eneded up closing after an influx of male gay dancers who insisted on dancing the 'follow' role with straight men.
If I'm in a minority with this view ... I'm sorry ... but for once maybe I'm in the majority.
