"What's that thing that did the rounds? Something like this "I had to tell my kids that their uncle is gay. Kids, Uncle Steve is in a relationship with Joe. He loves Joe like Mummy and Daddy love each other. Kids: oh. Can I have a biscuit? They're traumatised. Traumatised I tell you.""

"Nor do i tbh watching guys kissing in soaps and tv is cringy as fuck as it is and i do actively close my eyes when it happens but then i dont watch strictly so not like it matters but consider who do pensioners who were brought up in a time to be gay was frowned upon and illegal" And now it's not illegal, which is better. | |||

That's just my experience of course but the older generation in my family have quite a few gay friends and although they aren't as open as the younger generation they aren't offended by it. I do take your point though, it was certainly a taboo subject even in the 1970s. People like Elton John hid it and even now footballers can't be openly gay | |||

I find it weird that people call it PC gone wrong when programmes hold up mirror to society. I love reading about social history and there is the official script about society and there is what really happened in day to day life. If you read social history a fair few pensioners when they were younger were gay (well apart from Daily Mail readers) but could not express themselves and their stories buried. | |||

"Hear Hear. 50 years from now these discussions won't happen it will be normalised. But it is only 50+ years since homosexuality was removed from criminal offence legislation. Like all discrimination 99.98% of it is 'indoctrination' of youth; be that race, religion, or in this case sexuality. Tough little pocket rocket if you ask me.....with an infectious smile is Nicola Adams.  | |||

They have to hide their desires for fear of public shame or punishment. Nicola Adams is a trail blazer. She was the first woman to be allowed to box at the Olympics in 2012. Only EIGHT YEARS ago. She's now the first woman in a same sex couple on Strictly. She'll be a role model to many, and as a result will make some people's lives easier as she's carving out a route that others can follow. | |||

"Loads of girls dance with each other ...in groups round their handbags or in couples "
A Strictly dance with a gaggle of women clomping around a pile of tattered handbags would be great. | |||

"So Anne Widdecombe is speaking on behalf of all families now? O, priestess! Please bless us with the wisdom of your bubble of right wing crackpots. For we know not what we do!" From a woman who has never been married nor has any kids. What are her beliefs based on? Her faith.
I didn't particularly want to see get dragged around like a sack of potatoes when she was on here but I tolerated that. The least she could do is have tolerance.
There is no issue here, they are dancing.

"I was a bit nervous about them but think they are doing a great job and think they will go far ,i actually felt more uncomfortable watch 2 guys on Dancing on ice ,not sure why but didnt enjoy it the same ..." It will be interesting to follow Nicolas journey. It's easy to learn men's steps, but she also has to lead and do the lifts, which I'm sure she's quite capable of, with her upper body strength | |||
