"It is a moment for inclusivity, representation, visibility." Shangela dishes on making DWTS history

[@wholeshebang1]

This is groundbreaking (beyond Jojo Siwa's "first" in a same-sex dance duo from last season), and I'm *thrilled* that Shangela and Gleb are paired up. I can't wait to see more fabulous dances from them! 🌈

[@memento81]

maybe for the puritan USA, but the rest of the world already had same sex dance partners and drag queens. Courtney Act was the runner up on the 2019 season of australia's Dancing with the Stars and this year became a finalist on their All Stars version. Sorry, but all the US version can do is catch up to the rest of the world who broke all that ground before you.

Its funny i remember a dancing tv show, where two guys were partners and did dance for so long. When they performed, one of the judges... look at them. And said... something along the lines, that one of the boys was too feminine dancing. and he need it to be more masculine to enter. His partner did enter, and he didnt! Anyway... i glad that Shangela had fun

[@bernardsoul5186]

So some dancing tv show, some two guys, some judge, some comment along the lines of...lol try working on your memory

[@solangeknight]

When are they actually gonna have two men

[@linnie14]

US is not ready for that.

[@solangeknight]

They want to showcase two men then put a man who doesn't wear women's clothing all gay men aren't drag queens

[@christopherhamilton8853]

And how do you know that she's going to be in drag every single episode?!?!?!?!??????

[@jocendan7879]

If it’s two men, I imagine the celebrity would do all the female parts… & if that’s the case The best fit for those parts would be a drag queen. If you put, say, Anderson cooper with gleb… & ask Anderson cooper to do the female parts every time it’s gonna be… kinda wierd.

[@sandra-jones]

@Solange Knight no one said all gay men are Drag Queens. Not sure where you got that idea. As far as I know Shangela is a man. I may be wrong and have misgendered her, if I have I apologize. But from what I know DJ is an actual man. So you might want to sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

[@solangeknight]

@@sandra-jones yes but what I am saying shangela should be out of drag showcase the two men dressed as two men like how jojo siwa was with her female partner you wanna show two men then show two men but no we all know that won't be accepted so a man dressed as a woman will be more accepted so sadly it's not truly showing two men

[@solangeknight]

@@christopherhamilton8853 she said so in an interview she will be in full drag for all the dances
