I couldn't agree more... unfortunately, this country is extremely behind in the times so I'm not terribly surprised to see that they're not pushing for a same-sex dancing couple. I think it would add such a fun and unique element and given the state of what's going on in the world lately, it would be an incredible step forward for acceptance and tolerance. I hope the day comes in the very near future.

At least we don't have to look at Bristol any longer :p

@ Jayne - Oh I agree Neil Patrick Harris would be great. Probably too A-list or B-list right now. He was great on Glee last season.

@ Aunt Juicebos - so agree!

You know who would have been great and perfect is Neil Patrick Harris. I love him.

Portia and Ellen and a tango! Damn! How could you get much hotter than that! I hope they do consider doing this. It would be a giant step forward.

@ Jim and @TC --- totally agree. Wouldn't a same-sex couple bring their glitter and sequins to a whole new audience? Plus they seem to court controversy, so even the downside would have an upside.

I totally agree with you! It's not as if the m...

I totally agree with you! It's not as if the majority of people who watch DWTS haven't come across a gay person!
Like the whole DADT debacle, it's going to take more time for the government in the U.S. and huge corporations to take a gamble/chance and not be worried about losing votes/money!!!! I guess being GAY can be quite the commodity!!!!!

I am on occasional watcher, depends who is on. Just read that Lindsay Lohan is in talks to appear. That will not go well...

Honestly, I am not a big fan of the show...nothing against the format, audience or dancing, I just don't watch a lot of television. I do however agree that this show with its large following could make a positive social step forward...but network TV folks are wussies, and would rather run headlines on the bashing and anti-gay behavior, than take a stand to prevent them.

Thanks for the post!
