The only thing that surprises me is that this OP didn't have a pop at this story when it was first announced - several weeks ago.

//You seem intent on taking this thread off-track, from a discussion about a same-sex couple on television, to fundamental questions about the benefits and downsides to major changes in society, with some sweeping and not entirely viable scenarios to back up what you appear to want to present as your version of deep thinking.//

There was no such intent, I am merely enquiring for justifications for your assertions. What substance is there to mere claims lacking in evidence or logic behind them.

It seems to me that you are purporting to dismiss my valid questions as 'derailing' when in actuality you have no answers for them.

Duly I will accept your concession.
I'm reading this thread with my new reading specs and can see the words clearly for the first time in weeks.

More's the pity as a few of the posters seem to be proving themselves to be utter ***.

I personally don't give a monkeys if it's two guys, two gals or one of each, competitions like Dancing On Ice should be about the skill of the contestants, not about their genders.

How the OP can have the nerve to whine about a same sex couple on the show, but then claim it to be anything other than homophobia is utterly laughable.
They were good, the bit I saw, but early days
Don't watch it - or 'Strictly' so can't really comment - but it seems odd; dancing, to me, implies 2 sexes in the context of western formal dancing. Whatever..... if that's what pleases folk. Shrug! - In the end it comes down to skill, I suppose, but count me as residing in the dark ages.

Mozz I don't whine, but what you assert; that there is no difference between 2 men dancing in a competition in which the other contestants are male/female, is quite ridiculous.
If you can't see that then there is something wrong with you, and it ain't your glasses.
Well said, Mozz....and anyone who gets their knickers in a twist about same sex people dancing together needs to familiarise themselves with Irish dancing.
I've done many a reel or jig with one or more other lasses...and have you never watched River Dance?
Reely?
Indeed, Shoota....I have jiggled with the best of them.....x
And for Khandro and anyone who thinks men shouldn't perform together....just watch this....if I have done it as Tonyav taught me....x
Two of my besties are gay, I love them dearly , dying for them to get wed so I can wear a fascinator to the wedding
ladies did it first

yup Stately as a Galleon.
//Mozz I don't whine//

Okay, whinge, gripe, or moan. Take your pick.

//but what you assert; that there is no difference between 2 men dancing in a competition in which the other contestants are male/female, is quite ridiculous.//

Why is it then genius? The only differences I can see are all against the same sex couple (doing lifts etc). I can't see any advantage gained by H and his partner.
Yes there are occasions where same sexes dance together as has been pointed out, but our traditions, (which mean diddly squat these days), would provide us with traditional formats, and not two blokes dancing in that particular situation.
But of course, the politically correct brigade are determined to drive a coach and horses through all of our traditions, and I hate to think of the end result, not a great big melting pot, but a stinking swamp.
I must disagree - no one is stealing the tradition of others.

Want to dance with your opposite sex, then do so.
He'll have to find the right 'parfum' first...
True.
Come Boxing Day loads of parfum.
Then the dating apps :-)
Don't men dance with men whilst Morris dancing?
Isn't Morris dancing a tradition?
