Oh we love us some Prancing Elites, though alas the mostly white, conservative residents of Semmes, Ala. (population 2,000-ish) evidently didn't after the local boys' dance troupe - all-black, all-gay, all-sexy-Santa-dressed - danced their way through the annual Christmas parade, having been inadvertently invited to do so. Predictably, some spectators were “outraged and appalled." More interestingly, for enduring the jeers and stares in Semmes, the Elites got a wave of support from social media, gigs for New Year’s Eve and Mardi Gras, and a new Kickstarter campaign - "Society hates us, but the world loves us." The biggest loser here: The Friends of Semmes have been removed as organizers of the Christmas parade.

If the girls are doing it, why can’t the boys do it too?" SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Never Miss a Beat. Get our best delivered to your inbox.
