Strictly

[whiskeryron]

Will we soon be seeing Susan Calman dancing with another woman instead of a man ?

[EcclesCake]

What has what goes on in the bedroom got to do with the dance floor?

whiskeyron - //Well as she is a Lesbian I find it astonishing that she allows Herself to even touch a man ( no way would you ever find me dancing with a man). Perhaps I'm on another planet but I do not understand her differing values. Someone please explain. //

In the absence of an authority - i.e. a gay AB'er - I would suggest Ron that homosexuality does not require a strong aversion to a member of the opposite sex.

There may be some gay women who profess themselves to be 'man haters' - but that is down to their personality, not their orientation.

Most gay people interact perfectly happily with members of the opposite gender - women in particular often enjoy the company of gay men because they know they can relax completely because a gay man will never have any 'agenda' in terms of making the relationship sexual, so they can be honest in conversation in a way that they often cannot with a straight man.

You need to relax - just because you are a man doesn't mean that all gay men will have an instant and unstoppable sexual desire to pin you against a wall and ravage you. Like most straight men, you are perfectly safe!!

This OP obviously doesn't understand that being gay doesn't mean that you hate the opposite sex , or find them repulsive. Perhaps on his planet, things are different.

Thanks Andy Hughes I will sleep better in my bed tonight now.

I distinctly remember George Michael cavorting with scantily clad young women on the Club Tropicana video.

The defence rests. :-D

[bednobs]

well richard coles managed to dance with a woman. Judge rinder managed to dance with a woman. well done them, it must be very very very hard for them to stand next to someone of the opposite sex

[FoxLee2]

And Russell Grant, Julian Clary and so on and so on. Why single out Susan Calman because it's the other way round?

[andy-hughes]

FoxLee - Are you suggesting that Julian Clary is GAY????????

SERIOUSLY????????????????????????

I am aghast, I shall have to have a rub-down with a damp copy of the Daily Mail ......

[gness]

I think there are two reasons, Foxlee.......many men really can't believe that a woman can be more attracted to....and fall in love with....another woman when "a man like me" is available....

And, from what I read on Ab these days, men are fascinated by a lesbian but just can't see past the sex bit......though of course, sadly, that could be the fascination for them......x

[FoxLee2]

The point I was making was to wonder why whiskeryron has posed this question? I don't remember ever reading in all the series of Strictly when there have been many gay men celebrities - why isn't 'so and so' dancing with a man instead of a woman?

[emmie]

perhaps her wife,

[gness]

That's what I was trying to answer, Foxlee.......this fascination (for whatever reason) with gay women.....and no questions like this about gay men.....

Not that there should....in a nice world....be any questions at all......x

I confess to sharing much of the bewilderment on this one, I manage to shop,take transport, attend medical appointments and so on without ever once considering the sexual leanings of those I encounter - less still what they did last night under the covers.

It seems a bit of an obsession for some.
