If armchair bigots don’t like it, I’ve got two words for them – “boo” and “hoo” (not the first two words I thought of, but this is a family newspaper). With gay marriage and gay parenting normalised, why are such anachronistic attitudes being pandered to? Strictly should go ahead and feature same-sex couples, gay or straight. However, were any of the complaints about technicalities or were people just angry about a same-sex pairing on a “family entertainment” show? There’s understandable opposition on a technical level (traditional ballroom dances developed with male-female pairings in mind). Well, yes, but, going by the complaints, not all of it heart-warming.ĭancing on Ice is planning to feature a same-sex pairing as part of the competition, but Strictly is still murmuring vaguely about it possibly happening in the future. Radebe is gay and later commented that getting to do the routine “says so much about the people in this country”.
