I feel like some of them are gay.I feel like Maks is. He's such a diva sometimes. And I always thought Derek was but he's Mormon so he prolly stay closeted.

But in all seriousness, I don't think they ban gays. I think they just pick dancers who can perform the male lead the best. Some of the dancers might be gay but they just don't announce it.

Most professional male dancers are gay, yet none of the dancers is gay on "Dancing With the Stars."

The producers wanted them to be straight so audiences would connect more with the sexuality of the dancers.

This is just bigotry.

Gays not allowed. Even in a field known for gays!

I'm shocked, everybody knows fruits can dance better the str8's

Uh, first of all, gays dance with women all the time.

Secondly, it would be better to have male on male dancing. Do you know how many gays are in the dance world? I mean, come on. The judges are mo's!

Bravo should start a male with male dancing competition. They have had other gay shows, Work out and Boy Meets Boy.

I also think Mark Balas who won this year's show with Kristy Yamaguchi is gay.

The exclusion of Gays from dancing with the stars is crazy. It's just as crazy as excluding or not acknowledging Gays from American Idol.

Even if they are all straight, they never come across that way on the show. Ever.
