Without a stripper on it, a pole is just a pole. If it is 'cheap, sleazy, or unprofessional' to be photographed near a pole with no one on it, that's on the viewer, not reality. People have a right to be upset at such a blatant bait and switch.

But hey...the club totally asked for this. I mean, did you SEE how they were dressed...?
I agree. It's similar to the bakeries that are perfectly willing to take money from gay couples when they come in to buy cupcakes or scones, but when they ask for a wedding cake, for the most important day of their lives, these bakers, whom the gay couple have chatted with and almost consider friends, turn their backs on them. So basically, in both cases, they'll be accepting of the homosexual community until they become an inconvenience. Then, they're thrown under the bus.
