'To finally see same-sex dancing flourishing on a national stage is both heartwarming and exciting' 🙌
And for 2022, in another Strictly first, the glitzy dance show will see not one, but two same-sex couples take to the dancefloor – comedian Jayde Adams with longest-serving pro Karen Hauer, and radio presenter Richie Anderson with reigning champ Giovanni Pernice.
Same-sex pairings have everything mixed-sex pairings have to offer – if not more. This is because the possibilities of what they can do are endless, which is something we saw in series 19 when John and Johannes repeatedly switched leads and lifted one another. The LGBTQ+ community has come a long way over the decades and it’s thanks to the tireless work of trailblazers of the past that we can dance under a glitter ball in sequin-encrusted outfits today. This is something that feels like a real celebration of the battles that have been fought, as well as a promise to today’s kids that we will keep them safe.
So, if anything, Strictly is extremely late to the party, and if you have an issue with same-sex couples, it begs the question, do you really understand dance?supports HTML5 video
