>I couldn't have put it better myself!

As another John who is about to head off to a Men's Dance Festival called"stamping ground" held in Bellingen Australia in January every year, we see all sorts of men there.  Descriptions such as Gay, hetro, conservative, radical, alternative lifestyle, angry, are words that remind me of the menI meet there.  They come from all across Australia and even New Zealand andhave in common the passion to dance.  Actually the fellow who started this theme spoke of "stereotypical images of homosexuality, silliness, and irrelevance".There have been the odd guy who may have fell into two of the catergories butthey were definitely Hetro.  We come to dance and the Sexuality aspect is really low key with the exception of some of the young hetro males.  But then that is an aspectof their youth and maturity.  "Stamping Ground" is just the place forruining such stereotypes bercause the men just won't fit in the "damn" box.

Dance on!John.
