I wasn't really frustrated, just made to feel unwelcome at this venue--and that's why I wasn't there. It had nothing to do with not wanting to be there to support you. Amber, that’s cool.

And the PLT policy isn't meant to single you out, it's just a line that had to be drawn *somewhere,* so it didn't look like anyone was being included/excluded based on their sexuality. Its a line drawn for *all* men. (Case in point: Angela and I were out at dinner one night after class, and our gay waiter, after hearing that we taught pole dancing, "jokingly" threatened to sue us unless we allowed him to come and take classes... it just creates uncomfortable situations.)

It's too bad we had strike the same day - I wish it had been a week earlier (or later). Stupid responsibilities. I saw the photos at Rusty’s blog, too, and it is quite impressive.

I'm sorry we didn't make it. Honestly, though, I felt pretty unwelcome by PoleLaTeaz' whole "No Male Couples" policy. If I have to pretend to be straight to go somewhere on my free time, then I really don't want any part of it. I also shouldn't have to scrounge around to find a female "date" when I have a partner of 8+ years. Of course, this wasn't your policy, it's theirs. If you do an amateur night, we will make a much stronger effort to come cheer you on. I saw the flickr set last night — it’s pretty impressive!
