nigel lythgoe gay scandal Nigel Lythgoe in the Middle of Homo Scandal

Nigel Lythgoe, a highly resepcted judge from So You Think You Can Dance, criticized two male dancers, along with his fellow judges, because they kept switching the lead, and fell at the end of their audition. One judge said one should have chosen to be the guy, and the other the girl, so they wouldn’t be tripping all over each other. It was just a mess if you saw it.

GLADD, the hefty organization for high emotion and sensitive facist gays, got upset with Nigel calling him a homophobe, and demanded he apologize. That crap is so 2008. We have a half black president now. Political correctness, and racism, are now everyday issues, like a sun burn that needs a little Aloe Vera. Just rub the lotion on the skin GLADD, and quit trying to make yourselves the center of attention. What’s the matter do you need donations or something? No one cares if the dancers are gay, but they do care if they fit with what the show expects, and that’s good dancing by people the audience can connect with. If GLADD wants a couple of two left footed dancers to appear on the show, then how about giving So You Think You Can Dance a corporate sponsorship to help them stem the loss of viewers and advertisers for putting people on the show that can’t dance.

Anyway, I am ranting over this "look at me I’m gay and need special rights" crap. Nigel wrote a response on Twitter to address the homo-made scandal:

I hear I’m taking a beating on the web due to my comments regarding same sex ballroom I thought I was the most accepting of it on the panel?

The same sex ballroom guys did remind me of "Blades of Glory." However, I’m not a fan of ’Brokeback’ Ballroom.

I am very sad the word ’homophobe’ is being used. That is someone who hates homosexuals. I dislike effeminate dancing! Wake up and listen!

I believe overtly effeminate dancing destroys the opportunity for many male dancers to be supported. Being gay doesn’t mean effeminate.

We have had same sex dancing on SYTYCD from Season 1. Last year Joshua and Twitch. Before that Mia’s Prince’s routine with Danny and Neil.

I am passionate about dancers and dancing. I am not interested in their sexual preferences only their dancing and performances. Offstage ??

That Tweet was from yesterday, but today Nigel posted another Tweet today saying:

I wholeheartedly apologize for my Brokeback Ballroom Tweet. It was insensitive, ignorant and stupid. I have upset a number of dear friends.

Poor Nigel, the gays are getting his head all twisted, so now he is losing his sense of reality. If we took a vote the majority of So You Think You Can Dance viewers would probably also say they are not fans of a "Brokeback Ballroom" either, unless the dancers were really good. It’s all about the dancing. As far as I’m concerned the show shouldn’t have even allowed two male, or two female dancers to audition, because if they don’t win the gays make it all about homophobia, and I for one am sick of it.
