I was often asked if being a dancer built any animosity toward men.  I always answered honestly.  No.  It’s actually quite the opposite.  My response usually began with, how in the world do you stand us?  As a lesbian stripper, I’m still surprised that I escaped with my sexual identity somewhat intact.  I know that not all women are alike, but damn, some of y’all sure do make it difficult to unconditionally love, trust and support.  I made some bad decisions that ended horribly, both in and out of the industry.  I still have hope, but at this point in my life, I’m okay if it just so happens I’m meant to be by myself – with a few random affairs thrown in.  Hey, I’ve got to get more material somewhere…plus it’s fun.
