Question: Question for gay male ballet dancers--!?
I am a ballet teacher!. I have one male student, and I am hopeful someday my son will dance!. I know--for a fact--that all male dancers are not gay, but I do know that a number of them are!. So my question is this: Were you gay before you started dancing!? Or did dancing have something to do with it!?
I realize this question might be offensive, but I swear that is not my point!. I am simply trying to figure out which way it works!. I greatly appreciate any answers you give!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i believe you have answered your own question!. and i do not take any offense to your question!. dancing cant be a predisposition to being gay!. however being gay often attracts men to the finer things in life: beauty, art and form!. things which society deems are "unmanly!." i did ballet for a short period of time growing up as well as gymnastics!. then, i was gay and aware of it, but it did not have anything to do with me being gay!. i liked it because i liked it!. plain and simple!. besides it's an art, and full on physical sport!. it's takes a lot of dedication and effort!. for some reason society says men are supposed to be emotionless and have no taste what so ever!. as for ballet not being manly it is like i say a physical sport, so i don't understand why people think its so "girly" maybe the leggings, I'm uncertain!. But i know for a fact that most men who are in ballet are probably better fit than their hetero counterparts!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I will answer your question, but I find your lack of knowledge appalling and despite your claims I still wonder if you are a troll!. I have been in the dance world off and on for MANY years!. All the gay danseur and (lesbian ballerinas for that matter) with whom I talked about their sexual orientation, mentioned that they were born that way and did not "choose" to be gay or lesbian!. If you still think that people choose their sexual orientation, I might ask you a question: "What day and date did you "choose" to be straight - do you remember making the choice!?!.!.!.!.I thought not!. I hope this answers your question!.
For the record I am straight and was born that way!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
A guy is either gay or isn't gay!. Being a dancer, or actor, or hair dresser doesn't turn him into one!.
There probably isn't more gays in dance than other professions!. But the dance world has always been more accepting, so maybe gays have felt they can be more open about themselves!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I am neither gay or a dancer, but I think it's safe to say dancing does not turn a person gay!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Sorry I don't know why did I even open this question, I'm neither male nor gay!.!.!. Like many people said, and as the recent studies show, people are born that way - either gay or straight!.
I think that the reason why gay male might find ballet attractive is because they don't suppress that part of themselves so much - admiring the beauty of the lines!. Maybe they just have a better chance at "making it" in ballet than those who are always stopped by their fear of looking girly!. Now, I'm not saying that male ballet dancers look girly!. What I mean is when people are learning how to dance, the moves don't always come out right!. A lot of students are held back by this fear in general!. More than once I caught myself telling my teacher "I'll look stupid if I try to do it" and just made me do it!. But I digress!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
