ABC reportedly won't allow two men to dance as a couple together on "Dancing with the Stars."
An openly gay singer, Who Is Fancy (yes, that is what he calls himself), is set to perform his new song, "Boys Like You," with Ariana Grande and Meghan Trainor on the reality competition show's November 23 episode.
The song is about a man falling in love with another man, so the singer's choreographer wanted to have two men dancing with each other in the performance. But TMZ reported that ABC wasn't having it.
According to the site's sources, a "DWTS" producer responded to the choreographer's request via email: "Apologies all but this is a definitive no from the network."
ABC reportedly said it would allow "near dancing," such as the performance earlier this week in which pro dancers Alek Skarlatos and Carlos PenaVega basically toss each other around to Queen's "We Will Rock You."

Monumental hatred and bigotry of epic proportions!! ABC will now be sued into bankruptcy for their unforgivable crime.
ABC is the last network that I thought would do the right thing, never read the article only the headline.
I am for banning gays to the point of making it illegal as it should be, if it were up to me.
I saw that Campbell’s Soup commercial with the little kid and his 2 fathers. Made me want to projectile vomit alphabet soup.
Oh, but, but, but
It’s just so DIVERSE
I mean, they had MIKE $CAM danicing
With a WOMAN
Can you imagine .. where was the OUTRAGE?
Oh come on. Everyone’s gay on that show. LOL (okay, okay...)
I used to enjoy that show. Finally after being hit between the eyes with “feelings” each week, I’m turning the thing back over to the women.
For a guy, that show has simply jumped the shark.
More political propaganda. They won't show things that offend the public because they are trying to advance an agenda.
This is why entertainment shows feature "Normal" seeming "gays" instead of spit swapping bar hopping fags.
The media does as much damage by what it refuses to show as it does about the distorted things it does show.
Why don’t they just let have two men have gay sex on stage before a live TV audience. Maybe make it an animal act too. That’s what ABC really wants to do anyway.
Market research probably told them their rating would tank if they did it.
Watching Dancing with the so called “Stars” is a waste of electricity.
Could this be a ratings ploy? ABC initially refuses to allow two men to dance with each other, followed by a week or two of “public outcry.” ABC then “relents”, and then everybody tunes in to see the much-hyped episode where the men get to dance together.
Can you still read vomited alphabet soup? lol
Hey! If I were an actress I’d hire you for my PR guy because you sure do have a knack for it.
Bet you are right.
Probably has nothing to do with “doing the right thing.” I’m sure they know the show’s audience very well, and most of them would find it so revolting that they’d never watch it again.
Hey, don’t pawn that show off on the ladies. Some of us have deliberately NEVER watched it, lol.
ABC should have to bake the cake
They have all the time in the world left to cave, dont praise them yet.
Yes. ABC evolves.
