I am a fairly masculine guy, but I know ballet has made me more graceful. It's probably a generational thing. Your dad was raised to think men should act and walk a certain way. If he met half of my straight friends, he'd probably assume they were gay. You're not likely to change his mind on this. I think the healthiest thing would be for you to just silently forgive him for a prejudice that's deeply ingrained, and move on. All you'll ever do is stay pissed off if you hold on to this argument. <p>(I've been there. I love my dad, but there are some conversations we just don't have. I don't want to lose my temper, and it would hurt the old guy too much to have his butt kicked by his ballet-dancing gay son.)<br>[/i] URL of own homepage (optional):  Name of homepage (without the homepage will not show!):  URL of a picture (optional):       Tags for smilies [neener]   [lurk]   [fire]   [grmpf-blue]   [grmpf-red]   [grmpf]   [brood-blue]   [brood-lilac]   [brood-red]   [brood]   [heart-pink]   [heart]   [kiss]   [normal]   [oh-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [oh]   [acidic-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [acidic]   [smile-orange]   [smile]   [pointed]   [updown]   [twinkle]
