I'm not really sure what you're trying to say

homophobic, and that people in America should accept that because,
well, we wouldn't want English people coming here and telling us
what's right and what's wrong either, when they don't know our
culture and haven't danced here? If so, then you're right, that's
a premise I disagree with.
Dave -
According to Wikipedia (and other online sources),
"Homophobia encompasses a range of negative attitudes and feelings
toward homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as
being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender."
I just don't accept that men not wanting to dance with other men
necessarily has anything to do with homosexuality. But I can see that
we have radically different attitudes, and I don't want to get into a
long argument about it! Since you probably won't be calling contras
in England it's not that relevant.
