What does "gay" have to do about it? She didn't say a thing about him being gay. People are projecting that on to this. Also- aren't professional male ballet dancers largely straight anyway?

Sorry: did you honestly think she wasn't implying that Prince George would rebel at being forced to participate in something so gay???

I thought was the whole POINT of your pearl clutching!

She didn't have to say it. Historically, a young boy being interested in ballet would be teased: "what's so gay." It has long been a direct association, so that is part of the reason people are reacting strongly to what she said. Why should any young child be teased or discourage for ANY creative interest?

Exactly. This level of disingenuousness (is that a word?) in this thread is amazing, and more than a little frightening.
