From AfterElton:
The judges of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE critique auditioners and contestants on their overall performance, stage presence, technique and a wide range of characteristics.

From the Producers of So You Think You Can Dance and Fox.

Nigel Lythgoe also tweeted:
I wholeheartedly apologize for my Brokeback Ballroom Tweet. It was insensitive, ignorant and stupid. I have upset a number of dear friends.
After he had tweeted this:
The same sex ballroom guys did remind me of "Blades of Glory." However, I'm not a fan of 'Brokeback' Ballroom.

So You Think You Can Dance has a long history of not treating its gay/effeminate contestants well. Ironic since gay men are one the show's core audiences. C'mon Nigel!
