From my new column in Takiâs Magazine:
My Lesbian Dance Theory
Steve SailerAugust 31, 2022
During the dog days of August, there was a brief flurry of partisan excitement when Republican congresswoman Lauren Boebert denounced the White Houseâs student loan giveaway as, âJoe Biden is robbing hardworking Americans to pay for Karenâs daughterâs degree in lesbian dance theory.â In response, Bill Kristol tut-tutted that complaining about ââLesbian dance theoryâ adds that frisson of bigotry that really excites your basic semi-fascist.â
It struck me, however, that I, being me, actually have a lesbian dance theory.
Namely, my theory is that lesbians, like straight men, donât much like to dance and arenât that good at it, while gay men and straight women tend to adore dancing.
This pattern is the mirror image of golf, which is why the big Ladies PGA tournament in Palm Springs each March is known as the ânational lesbian spring break.â
Way back in my 1994 article âWhy Lesbians Arenât Gay,â in which I enumerated dozens of behavioral differences between gay men and lesbians, listed under âBar Activityâ that gays like to dance, while lesbians shoot pool.
Others have noticed as well that lesbians donât tend to be the most graceful dancers. In one of country singer Kinky Friedmanâs detective novels, the protagonist lives in a basement apartment in Greenwich Village under the rehearsal space of a lesbian dance troupe, exposing him to the incessant âsemi-rhythmic thuddingâ of the sapphists.
Research has since vindicated my observations.
