So the Gay Games would include drag acts and quoting old movies?
The other thing that bothers me about some of these dancy sports is that I can't help thinking they're stocked with people who were not good enough to compete in the regular activity, so someone indulgent invented something else for them to do. Arguably, decathlon is open to the same criticism, but I think there is a virtue in being able to do a lot of athletic things well. There is no virtue to any of the rhythmic gymnastics skills.
