Then again, perhaps it's just that most males are raised slightly homophobic. |
Gadget/Tramp,
sorry but I think you guys have way missed the point. Having problems dancing with a transvestite or openly camp guy has NOTHING to do with worrying about how you are perveived on the dancefloor ... its got everything to do with being put in an uncomfortable position. I've got no problems with dancing with guys ... its fun, its bathos ... BUT I DO have a problem dancing with a transvestitive. Let me put this is context ... ignoring what others may think ..... would you feel fine walking down the street hand in hand with a very camp guy, or kissing one on the lips? If not, why not?
There are certain 'rules' of behaviour that are 'acceptable' and feel right to a hetrosexual male ... kissing an openly homosexual male tends to run contrary to those rules. In a similar way, dancing with one feels uncomfrotable. Guys dancing with guys is tends to be for fun, if it was serious then that would technically be exhibiting homosexual attributes .... how would you then call that?
