find it weird how tongue-tied people get trying to object against something so meaningless

Don’t see what’s wrong with what BBUK said tbh, although I think they should first try a same sex coupling in a xmas special as a one off and see how that goes down. Or even have a special where there all same sex dancing couples but I don’t think it should be mixed with the traditional way tbh, it doesn’t really physically make sense dance wise in my eyes

Yeah, do people really care? I don't watch strictly but surely all it would do is mix it up a bit and add something extra visually to the dances?

They say the same thing constantly I can't see it happening and I'd rather it didn't. The show doesn't have to be about sex or sexuality it's unnecessary. The male partner has to do different things than the female partner it's to do with dancing and that's what the scores are based on. Anything else is just confusing

I doubt they would force anyone.
Luckily Aljaz and Kevin already said they'd do it. And i bet some female pros would be up for a challenge.
Choreography-wise it would be quite interesting
I'd imagine most gay contestants would still opt for opposite sex. Eg Susan calman wanted to dance with a man but reverend Cole preferred a man

James Jordan did speak against in CBB14, yes

Same sex couples will be allowed from next year.

I'd welcome this but both the professional and celeb partner should have the choice to reject the idea.
