OVER 6,000 UNED METHODIST NGREGATNS VOTED TO LEAVE THE NOMATN AS BE MORE FLEXIBLE WH GAY MARRIAGE AND LGBTQ+ MISTERS
This article is the rult of ethnographic fieldwork among amatr dancers, maly among gay adolcents om the outskirts of Salvador Bahia (Brazil), who label themselv as “flexible”. This self-fn aris out of bodily flexibily techniqu, cultivated through tense physil work. By focg on specific trag suatns, such as stretchg exercis, I trace unrstand how the “flexible” body is built. I propose that the language mobilized by the young people offer an important gui to unrstandg the distctive elements of this practice. The practners’ acunts and my own observatns of the practice dite that the embodiment of acrobatic skills occurs a procs that weav body and environment. Followg Ingold, I argue that an elogil approach help to prehend this kthetic practice as spatial realizatn, as well as providg eful sights to s learng practic explorg the richly sensory dimensn of learng practic and velopment of motor sensibili, such as the sound and the imperative pa experience. Furthermore, I analyze how my terlocutors’ ncept of body fs the theoretil ia of how bodi should not be fed by what they are, but rather by what they are able to do. * flexible gay *

LGBTQ+ rponseWhile some partg church allow LGBTQ+ members, ’s an unacceptable double standard when they let LGBTQ+ people attend their servic but refe to marry them, said Sonja Feist, print of the Topeka chapter of Parents, Fay and Friends of Lbians and told The Capal-Journal she didn't see how a church that bans same-sex marriage n claim to be welg to gay people. This is the sense that forms homosexual, which, as an adjective, refers to sexual attractn to people of the same sex, and as a noun, to people havg such an attractn. In other words, homoflexible is not a prefix pl a base word but is a pound of the word homo ("homosexual") and the word flexible, whose sense relatg to beg willg to try different thgs dat to the 16th century.
Acrdg to prt evince, the slangy homoflexible was formed the early 21st century, and is ed to scribe a person who is primarily attracted to those of the same sex but who is also sometim attracted to the oppose sex. "I live wh straight guys now, and I fely see the sexual tensns, which have ma me very unfortable, " said one stunt, who scribed himself as "homoflexible" and asked not to be named bee his parents are unaware of his sexual orientatn.
Each person may intify as another label at different of the mon misnceptns people have about bisexualy also apply to those who intify as homoflexible or heteroflexible. While some people who intify as homoflexible or heteroflexible may also intify as polyamoro (havg multiple partners at one time), aga is a myth that the people are somehow greedy by nature.

You n simply expla that you are primarily attracted to people of the same sex but sometim feel attracted to someone of another sex (homoflexible), or that you primarily intify as straight but sometim feel attracted to people of the same sex (heteroflexible).

Participatn dance groups ma up of gay iends and neighbors that rehearse and prent choreographi to popular dance mic, is part of the trajectory of their nstctn of a sense of gay self and ethnographic subjects, the majory of whom are participants or ex-members of such dance groups, are part of that sectn of the gay muny for whom this artistic activy seems to offer an environment of playful sociabily sufficiently open to an exploratory attu terms of a kthetics that is non-normative relatn to the purpos of this article, I only nsir amatr gay dancers who, referrg to a set of bodily flexibily techniqu which they learn, ll themselv flexible. Such a practice, however, is still srcely I translated the emic tegory wh which my terlocutors signate themselv, “flexible gay”, as “flexible gay man”, wh the tentn of producg a more fluid text for the Anglo-Saxon rear, I need to unrle somethg that may be ncealed by this translatn.
