  • Why not? :) It should be compulsory viewing for all fathers who have sons to instil in them to support their boy in anything positive they want to do with their lives. I became an even better father because of this production.

  • I don't understand why people say ballet is gay. Ballet dancers are strong! They have to lift another human being and look like it's the easiest thing on earth! Now that's my kind of guy!! Besides, how many women complain that their man is clumsy? Ballet dancers on the other hand are graceful.

    "but they wear tight clothing!" So what I say!! So do elite athletes! and no one says they are gay for wearing tight shorts, so why is this any different?

    I hope future generation will realize all this.

  • @datispasdavid That's not what she meant. Pretty sure she wasn't making a point on homosexuality and whether or not gay people are strong... but clearly if people are ignorant enough to believe all the stereotypes around ballet, they wont think gay men can be strong. When I watch a man dance, it don't care about his sexual orientation, his tastes in music, what he ate for breakfast... I just watch him dance and respect the amount of work and passion behind what I am seeing.

  • @SuperColette11 they say that because they can't help being conscious of the sensuality of all that hard work. it embarrasses them to think that anyone would put so much effort into simply being beautiful. (and of course the idea that *men* might be beautiful is simply horrifying to people like that)

    But whatever, as they say.

  • that little boy is destined to be a superb performer! did you see how quickly and subtely he recovered his chair when it was knocked into the wrong position! wow

  • @SuperColette11 And gay people can't be strong. yeah. right.

  • Extraordinary!!! Thank's a lot Emoke.
