Anyone who regularly attends a contra dance will have to learn and accept that they occasionally will swing or gypsy a same gender person--in fact some dances explicitly have such. It is not any of your concern or business if someone feels uncomfortable by such The obligation of anyone regularly attending contra dances and disliking such is just to not show any displeasure for the the critical 4-8 seconds. Such person can politely decline when asked to be a partner by a same gender person. Michael Fuerst 802 N Broadway Urbana IL 61801 217-239-5844
