ABC reportedly bans gay dancing on 'Dancing with the Stars'
Business Insider ^ | November 12,2015 | Jethro Nededog

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."

It’s the reverse reality of the actual low percentage of homosexuals...3% or less of the population.

Why aren’t there loving gay commercials? Why aren’t there gay dancers?

Women want families and kids. Men want families and kids. Women yearn for men; men yearn for women. They might give hokey answers on opinion surveys and support the ‘idea’ of freedom.

But when push comes to shove they don’t like seeing it. In their hearts they know what their eyeballs are seeing is unnatural.

Has no one read the article?

If I comprehend this, ABC doesn’t want the visual of dancing male partners, but they don’t seem to mind keeping the gay-lover song lyrics.

I can't figure out why they would book this singer in the first place.

He and his song don't sound like they fit the DWTS brand.

gAyBC turns every show they can into a homo-promo. I suspect they are floating this story in order to generate pushback, and then apoligetically give in.

Unbelievable that they’re not faggoting up the network.

Yep, this is a trial balloon, the social media will go into overdrive and ABC will “get the message”.

If they allow the gay crap you might as well cancel the show because they’ll lose their whole audience.

I don’t buy Campbell soup as a result of that commercial. Just the thought of the two gay male parents with a male child makes me want to lose my lunch (funny I haven’t ever seen a gay male couple with a girl for some reason... Hmm womder why)

Hollyweird has always been like this:

Fairies and Communists by Jack Paar

There used to be a time when it looked like the Communists were taking over show business. Now it’s fairies. They operate a lot alike, actually; both have a tendency to colonize. Just as there used to be no such thing as one Communist in a play or movie, now there is no such thing as one fairy. Where you find one, you usually find a baker’s dozen swishing around. I had a little game I used to play when I was an actor in Hollywood, back in the days when Communists or Communist sympathizers were nearly as plentiful in the film capital as yes-men. If I spotted someone in a picture who was a Communist or leftist, I could usually pick out several others. They always came in sets. Now I play it a different way. When I hear that some fairy is producing or directing or acting in a play, I can often name some of the rest of the cast, even if I’ve never heard it. But Communists and fairies do differ in some respects. The Hollywood Communists had their “Unfriendly Ten,” who refused to testify before a Congressional Committee, but the fairies are overfriendly. They do say no occasionally. “When a fairy says no,” Alex King has observed, “he almost throws his back out of joint.” The poor darlings, as they sometimes call themselves, are everywhere in show business. The theater is infested with them and it’s beginning to show the effects. “The New York theater is dying,” the late Ernie Kovacs complained recently, “Killed by limp wrists.”

The dance is a mecca for the gamboling third sex, which prompted Oscar Levant to observe that “ballet is the fairies’ baseball.” The movies have long been a happy hunting ground for them, and now they’re starting to take over television. No TV variety show seems complete without a group of fairy dancers leaping about with balloons...

Ohnhell no! If a Christian baker has to lose their business then DWTS needs to put 2 big ugly fudge packing queers on their show to crash their ratings. Media doesn’t get it both ways. I want some transsexuals, transvestites, bull dikes, and aids looking fudgers all on the show. It’s only fair.

Let’s not stop the little people, paraplegics, mentally challenged and all some mentally insane also. We can finish the finally with Achmed and a goat with their dance of “helping it over the fence”

We should be demanding it all. Pick the most rediculouse concept and start a movement to force the subject. Have fun with it!

I saw that Campbell’s Soup commercial with the little kid and his 2 fathers. Made me want to projectile vomit alphabet soup.

Same here - I wonder how many "haters" have complained to Campbell's - they have given up the rights to call their products "wholesome"...

Monumental hatred and bigotry of epic proportions!! ABC will now be sued into bankruptcy for their unforgivable crime.

They can't afford to let their ratings tank - they know what John Q. Public thinks and that is the only reason they did this.

Is that the ‘I am your father’ commercial, where they shovel spoonfuls of soup into the kid’s maw...? That is grotesque on a number of levels...

I already did that with the lesbians-adopting-the-deaf-girl treacle from earlier this year.

My local Wells Fargo branch was trolling me for personal advisor business; I told the guy “I amost pulled my portfolio out after seeing that filth, and if you do another one, it’s seeya...’

Poor guy was speechless...

In their hearts they know what their eyeballs are seeing is unnatural.

Perhaps...and that is the problem; for fear of resisting trendiness, and appearing ‘insensitive’, they bestow tacit approval on what they know to be vile...females are particularly prone to this anomaly...

Facebook is a primary example of this; geared towards women as it is, commentary flows in one direction only, as the little dears are intent upon showing us how the enightened half lives...
