Would you dance with your bf at a str8 wedding?

[KennyD]

Well ...I've never had the chance at a wedding to dance with a B/F ... However; when I had a B/F several years ago , we were at a Str-8 Honky Tonk type place and even though there was a great band, no one was dancing. One of our friends bet me $20 that I wouldn't "Dare" dance in this place with a guy ... So; I took my guy out onto the dance floor .. danced with him ... and dipped him .. gave him a kiss on the lips ; and went back to our table to a rousing round of applause from the entire establishment.

I don't dance.

ever.

(soon Jockboy is going to come in here and call me a liar, considering he and I grinded crotch to ass one night to Justin Timberlake)

seriosuly, I've only been to two weddings, and was too busy getting drunk to bother dancing to "Celebration".

But sure... if I felt like it.

I don't dance.

AB-SO-LUTELY!!

Since it's a friends' wedding, I presume, I would check with the wedding couple to see if they minded....

It's their day and who are we to start something that might ruin their day?

Otherwise, we will do whatever we feel like...

The last time, I was the best man at my college room-mates second time around, and we slow danced to some beautiful music with none other than that deep voiced, sexy Barry!!!

Just in case I haven't mentioned it recently...

I'm still trying to get use to dancing with guys in general, but I guess if it's among friends in the right setting, sure!

it'll come along, i promise

you'll feel right as rain

 

[trawler69]

If I had a Bf and if I could dance and we were invited as a couple then yes but I might ask the "happy couple" if it was ok as it is after all their party.

 

[D-Base]

If I had a bf yes, of course

 

[LeoMikey]

Yes, but i would okay it with the bride & groom. Just imagine the day when gay marriage is legal in the US (i'll be 105 by then, but anyhow) and we can forbid straight people from dancing at our weddings.
I did dance with a guy at wedding once, but he was'nt my boyfriend. It was at my aunts wedding in Denmark when i was 17 and was asked to dance by this 18 year old humpy Dane. We had just met that day, and just clicked and hung out. When everyone was dancing after dinner he asked me, there were several gay couples dancing, so it was no big deal. We even frenched while dancing, again nobody seemed to care. This was Denmark after all, not the US. And if you're wondering, we did more than dance that day.

weddings and other similar functions usually have tables of friends or people who are in some way connected. What tends to happen down my way, rather than anyone be left sitting alone by themselves the table would all get up and dance together or people would dance in groups.

I wouldn't generally have an issue with just dancing with my partner but being of Japanese stock he would be a little more reserved and would find it embarrasing. We have been to an engagement together as a couple but we didn't dance. It was pretty boring all round so we just had a few drinks and made a quiet early exit.

 

[GL]

Heck yeah! I would. I'm not going to worry about someone being uncomfortable if I'm dancing with my b/f (wishful thinking, I know ) and let them ruin my good time.

 

[_AJ_]

yes i would dance with him or any other guys there

 

[tx_doc]

Yes but not for long. He's not a good dancer. We danced at my sister's wedding. He was also in the family photo of all my siblings and their spouses.

 

[Lube]

Well in this particular wedding, the bride & groom (brother of my date/bf) were very accepting of us, but the rest of the family was--after 20 years--still adjusting to my date/bf's sexuality. So I didn't want to push it, since it was a large family and half of them live out of town, and I had never met them before.

Another interesting anecdote is that, while no one seemed to mind us dancing (or at least no one said anything), to the best of my knowledge not a single photo was snapped of the two of us. You know how it is with everyone and their brother having a digital camera nowadays, lots of formal and informal shots were taken of many couples and groups, but no one asked us to pose.

 

[BoSoxFanVa]

I was surprised when my bf said he would attend the wedding of one of my co-workers. He's very shy and even a bit homophobic. The wedding was huge, so we got lost in the crowd. It took him a few drinks and lots of cajoling, but we made it to the dance floor. I was so proud of him.

 

[floorrunner]

My boyfriend and I have been together for 10 years and we got a joint invitation to my nephews wedding. We decided not to dance even before we got to the wedding.
At the wedding my nephew and his bride came up to us and asked us why we weren't dancing. We told them we didn't want anyone to feel uncomfortable. They said fuck that. This is our wedding. We want everyone to have a good time. If someone doesn't like it, they can leave. At some point during the night they each had a dance with both of us. My nephew is a United States Marine.

 

[Swellegant]

Probably not. But not because I'm ashamed or afraid of making people uncomfortable, it's because the circumstances that would precipitate such an event are so unrealistic that I can't imagine them all coming together. I mean, for me to dance with a boyfriend at a wedding, all of the following circumstances would have to apply:

1. I have to have a boyfriend. That's so hypothetical it's almost mythical.
2. The music has to be good. All of the weddings I've been to that had dancing, the music sucked. Straight people dance to the oddest music... at my cousin Cheryl's wedding five years ago, the most popular song of the night was "Play That Funky Music." And they played it like five times. I mean really.
3. My Grandmother can't be there. She's the only person on the face of the earth who has earned my deference, the only person on earth for whom I would ever downplay my gayitude. And since I've only been to three weddings without her (most of the weddings I've been to in my life were family, I have very few straight friends), it's not bloody likely.

But if it was all there, I certainly would cut that hypothetical rug with my hypothetical boyfriend at this hypothetical wedding. Why the hell not? Like many have said, if they didn't want gay couples dancing at their weddings, they wouldn't invite any.

This is the only reason which would make me accept dancing with a male partner at a wedding; the fact that both the bride and groom expressly wished us to feel at ease enough to do it.

Otherwise no. It would not be my special day and rather than offend anyone and spoil the wedding I would stay rather discreet. I certainly wouldn't tell anyone that they could stuff it if they didn't like it. There are times when a little decorum is appropriate.

 

[man_crazy]

Yes I would for sure, I am gay, the people who invited me knew I was gay, so why can't I dance and have fun?

What else is there to do at a wedding, as I am not interested in sleeping with the bridesmaids.

I agree 100%.

 

[arieliam]

Without hesitation. I grew up in a small minded small town and have seen each step in my growth as a gay man to be a success. I celebrate each time I can afford to do what I want, and to me this is no different. I can afford it because I am not ashamed of who I am, and this gives other's an opportunity to see that 'it's ok to be' regardless of issues that other's might have, or not.
