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. |  |

This thread is like so many others on here.
1) OP starts us off with a bit of a harmless but silly opinion.
2) A few pages follow where more knowledgeable posters try to educate OP.
3) OP doubles down refusing to listen to anyone else, often while repeatedly claiming to be interested in honest debate.
4) Some thin-skinned type enters the action, quite often just to have good blub about board mafia/bullies/lefties ruining their just telling it like it is stylings.
5) Anyone with any actual insight or interest in the topic abandons thread as they realise it's nothing more than a massive waste of time. |
Yeah, but no one has mentioned the real threat to public decency and health here. What if this launches a Steps reunion?
One of the girls was white and had dreadlocks didn't she? That'll set it off on here! |  |

Having a differing opinion does not make one ignorant. On the contrary, it can be healthy.
Old Lankhenners is a bit of an old fashioned dictator, and believes in censorship. That's just not healthy. |
To be fair, it was the doubling down on the stupid opinion when faced with facts that did that. | |

"more knowledgeable posters try to educate OP."
What you mean here is that you agree with these posters.
"thin-skinned type enters the action, quite often just to have good blub"
What you mean here is that you disagree with these posters.
I do try to keep pointing this out but to no avail so far (although note i don't claim to be educating you), by all means make your case but don't shutdown an opponent for having an opinion, look what is happening throughout the world when this happens on a greater scale. |  |

Very well put sir.
The 'shut down' and the 'gang up' are tactics often used in tandem on this board.
Often by people who claim to be liberal, but aren't tolerant of other peoples views.
Hopefully these posters will become more open minded and tolerant of others. | |

No Trekkie.
I mean more knowledgeable posters. I'm sorry if it upsets you, but it's a truth that some folk know more about some things than others. If we were talking about Top Gear, or Nandos, then I'd trust what some other folk on here say, as those are some things I know nothing about. This stuff, I do know about however, so it is really tiresome to read utter crap spouted as if it's fact.
There's a few on here who need to accept that.
Hope that clears things up for you.
Thanks.

Firstly i cannot see where I have given any impression that I am upset, i'm not using CAPS or lashing out at anybody so that is a bit of a mystery comment.
When talking about knowledge, it is about facts. But these are opinions, not facts. Let's examine ...
"Does dancing with a man achieve anything from an LGBT perspective?" invites opinions, not facts.
"Is this a gimmick?" invites opinions, not facts
You appear to see your opinion as fact so therein lies the problem. To be fair you also see the opposing opinion as fact "utter crap spouted as if it's fact" when it is merely someone's opinion also.
Just be happy in your opinion and happy you have your points to back it up. You don't have to "educate" others. | |

I have no idea why you have to create this idea that you are knowledgeable about everything. First you were ignorant about issues around race, and now this. You should respect your limitations. | |

"Does dancing with a man achieve anything from an LGBT perspective?"
Yes. It breaks down the traditional male-female relationship barrier, irrespective of whether both partners are gay or straight.
"Is this a gimmick?"
Potentially. However it does highlight the ever-changing make-up of what we conceive traditional sexual identities and partnerships to consist of, so is of some importance regardless.
But tbf if you're gay enough to watch a programme about ballroom dancing anyway, you deserve all you get...

Thanks, I've learned something there. |
No worries.
Also remember that dancing is quite an intimate act. It’s also an art form. I am not one for watching ballet, ballroom, or any of these dancing TV shows. But if 2 guys dance together and can tell the particular story that is being told through that medium, then why not. It isn’t something I would watch, but whatever floats your boat and all that. I can’t dance.
Are you going to watch it? If so, come back and tell us what you thought. |  |

I haven't given a single opinion or fact on the thread topic itself so how on earth can I be creating an idea I am knowledgable about it? You just seem to be flailing here with comments that appear to have no relevance to the point. | |

To the op, Marshalls_Mullet
You have an opinion. Well done. You appear to think this gives you insight on equal footing to lived experience. I don’t agree. You are correct that lived experience does not make one correct at all turns, but your dismissive attitude from the off in the thread tells a story on its own.
It just comes across as a little ignorant. We are all ignorant from time to time.
Your comments on the Irish the other day did not come across as ignorant. Again, just your opinion apparently. They came across as wilfully offensive. The sort that would get you into a lot of trouble if you had the courage to voice them to far from your own keyboard.
You in the past always seemed to carry some integrity in here. You appear to have lost it. Just my opinion. |  |
