Seamlessguy,
I take both ballet classes and and aerobics class in Manhattan. I usually wear either tights or sweats for the latter. In fact, some of the men who take the aerobics class also wear tights at times. It's no big deal. No one has called me a fag, not that I care, but that's been the case. However, I do agree with the post being about "suntan tights". Why would someone care unless such has to be a concern regarding the color?
When the weather is cold, I wear tights. It's simply to keep warm and still be agile. And in my ballet class I wear nothing but tights, but then, it's the more acceptable thing there.[/i]
