    I got into a raging, biscotti-stabbing argument with my sister last week about the sex lives of ballet dancers. She insisted that the vast majority of male dancers (I desperately want to call them ballerinos, but I shall abstain) are gay, gay, gay. GAY.

    I told her that that premise was as illogical and unlikely as saying the vast majority of female ballet dancers are gay. And while I grant that I was trying to annoy her, I do still think that she's wrong and that they can't all be gay. Are they? If so, I don't think that's fair, and I would like to know who to write a letter about it.

    @Harlot Brontë: It's a common stereotype, but the majority of danseurs (male ballet dancers) are actually straight. In all my years of dancing, however, I have known several gay danseurs but have yet to meet a lesbian ballerina.

    @Harlot Brontë: I currently dance with a medium-sized company in the US. Every man currently in the company is straight; in fact, most of them are married (to female dancers in the company, no less). From my observations, the number of gay men in the ballet world isn't much higher (if at all) than the number of gay men in any other profession; however, I think the men who are gay feel more comfortable embracing it since it is "accepted" that gay men dance. Ballet is HARD and in my opinion your sexual orientation has no bearing on whether you are willing to put in the time, pain, and sweat that it takes to become a dancer.

    @freya_kahlo: I just read her wiki page and she built her career half blind. she could barely see out of one eye and doesn't have peripheral vision. i guess the dancing was so precise she didn't need to see everything; just feel it.

    I saw the photo and knew immediately who this was - I was a school of American ballet student back in the day, and used to read every book there ever was on the subject.
    Also, I love the Chorus line reference!

    @labeled: What? Old? Which reminds me, on The Facebook app Which Seinfeld Character Are You, I got George, which really upset me because he's such an awful jerk, and you know how I feel about the men. And then I went on The Google and there were all these crazy kids talking about "frittering" and tweety birds and I didn't know what was going on. Who wants some hard candy?
