Dave - According to Wikipedia (and other online sources), "Homophobia encompasses a range of negative attitudes and feelings toward homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender." I just don't accept that men not wanting to dance with other men necessarily has anything to do with homosexuality. But I can see that we have radically different attitudes, and I don't want to get into a long argument about it! Since you probably won't be calling contras in England it's not that relevant.
