Subject: Other than some gel in their hair and bling on the vests, I really didn't see much over-the-top for the boys. It does seem to be the trend.
In reply to: Irishmama 's message, "There was a long (and rather nasty) thread on one of the boards about the boys outfits at Nationals. I really cant believe the nerve of some people..." on 19:56:13 07/12/08 Sat

One of my sons LOVES the bling. Not because he is gay (not that I would care) but because he loves the attention. That is what he loves about dance - being on stage in the center of attention with the girls telling him how cute he is! My other son doesn't give a hoot what he wears any day, any time, on stage or off.

Judging a boys sexuality because of what he wears is as ridiculous as judging it because he dances. If he move his feet this way to play soccer, he is hetersexual. If he move his feet this way to dance, he is gay? Please. That is just ignorant.

[> [> I have to say I dislike the term "real boy". They're all our real boys and it goes without saying they're much loved regardless of orientation. -- Let them wear what they want, whether conservative or "blinged-up". Glad to see the numbers staying up as they get older, they're great to watch., 11:13:57 07/14/08 Mon [1]

[> [> [> I was the one who said "real boy" and I certainly meant no offencse - just that real boys are boys and they like all sorts of things - has absolutely nothing to do with orientation, which is a ridiculous discussion to start with and has NOTHING to do with dance - simply meant boys are boys -- and each are individuals, 19:05:35 07/14/08 Mon [1]

this arena is not a place for any discussion of "orientation" -

[> [> [> [> but your reference to "real boys" did raise another discussion-it is completely derogotory towards males who may have differing perceptions of their genders-biologically they are real boys-such a stupid label -- and very offensive/judgemental, 05:58:59 07/16/08 Wed [1]

[> [> I didn't think anyone in this thread was judging. I thought everyone who posted here was just making comments on the trends -- actually, 14:26:53 07/14/08 Mon [1]

[> [> [> I think that the OP was not talking about this board, but another thread on the Main ID board a few weeks ago. -- We are usually nice here, 05:41:04 07/16/08 Wed [1]

[> [> [> [> I wasn't talking about the OP or this board I was referring to the poster who in their text mentioned judging. I was pointing out that there had not been any judging going on here. -- see inside., 11:03:10 07/16/08 Wed [1]

"Judging a boys sexuality because of what he wears is as ridiculous as judging it because he dances. If he move his feet this way to play soccer, he is hetersexual. If he move his feet this way to dance, he is gay? Please. That is just ignorant" - this was the text I was referring to.
