"It is said that many male dancers are gay." Could this be toned down or removed? I know three ballet groups and none of the men in it are gay. In fact, I'd say that a good half of the reason for them taking up ballet was to be able to get to the lovely girls! --[[User:Interesdom|Interesdom]] 21:03, 25 April 2009 (UTC) | "It is said that many male dancers are gay."

Gay?
"It is said that many male dancers are gay." Could this be toned down or removed? I know three ballet groups and none of the men in it are gay. In fact, I'd say that a good half of the reason for them taking up ballet was to be able to get to the lovely girls! --Interesdom 21:03, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
