Good old 'H', he knows how to get headlines 12:30 - Oct 9 with 12765 viewsMarshalls_Mullet

Not really sure what this is designed to achieve, apart from raising his profile.

I dont think dancing with a man achieves anything from an LGBT perspective. Its not as if the 'dancers' are being asked to be in a relationship.

I'm sure Ben Hunt, the LGBT correspondent analysis of the matter is more relevant and informed than yours.

While some may see this as a gimmick, many LGBT people will see this as a necessary step to have their lives reflected on prime-time TV.

For a long time, heterosexual couples have been shown to be the norm. In adverts, films and television dancing competitions, straight pairings were all people saw. However, times really have changed.

For a prime-time family show to take this step is big, and it means that families up and down the country will be seeing and discussing same-sex pairings.

Not worth it - the OP is either a bad taste troll or wilfully ignorant, given he’s been pulled up for his views on anyone who isn’t a straight white male several times in the past.

To put that in perspective being better informed on anything than the OP is a bar set very low indeed.

Disagree.

They won't be a 'couple'.

Just seems like a gimmick to me.

I looked at the news and saw H from Steps is going to be dancing with a man on TV and Jamie Vardy's wife might or might not have told the Sun that Wayne Rooney's kitchen had flooded when it actually hadn't.

I disagree that it's a big step forward for LGBT.

A straight man dancing with a gay man isn't an LGBT issue.

I guess he's right that it gets people talking. That's what gimmicks do.

Do you think the LGBT corresponent may be better informed than you on what this means for the LGBT community though?

His job title doesn't make him right on everything.

Not quite right. Heterosexual couples are 'typical'. Same sex partnerships are just as normal as male/female partnerships.

You should really listen to the people it impacts. It's staggeringly arrogant to tell them they're wrong.

That's the point though, it doesn't. His role doesn't mean he is right in everything he says.

I just disagree with his viewpoint, which I'm surre he would respect.
