Free Queer Pole Dancing Classes at Washington State University

[FlyersFan]

So this is how colleges spend their time and money.  'Offered free' means that the college pays for it, which means that the college tuitions pay for it, which means that mostly it's parents paying for it.

"Queer Pole Dancing Classes'.   

Not just stripper pole dancing ... but gotta' put that gender bending 'queer' twist on it as well.

I can think of better things for college age adults to be spending their time on, and better things for colleges to be spending their money on.   I'm glad I'm not in college anymore and I'm glad my child isn't either.   Sad to think that people are using their time, talent, and money on this junk.  But I guess it's their choice.  

Washington State University Offering Free Queer Pole Dancing Classes

The Stephenson Fitness Center at the university is offering the free lessons every Friday.
 
”Queer Pole Fit is a meant to create a community and environment that helps folks feel safe and disrupt stereotypical ideas about pole dancing,” the class description reads. “Taught by our queer pole instructors, come as you are, and enjoy this fun and challenging format.”

The pole lessons are being promoted as being for “all who identify as LGBTQ+” and their “allies.”

I hear that pole dancing is a great workout. However, I'm pretty sure it would be a twig and giggleberries destroyer.....

I will see your Poles dancing and raise you by these Slovakians dancing (and singing)

Washington State U definitely on a new kind of "Slippery Slope"

Sounds like Pullman, WA. A really blue area in an otherwise VERY red part of Washington. Like you wouldn't see this at the Jesuit university North in Spokane, Gonzaga.

I don't think it's a contagion at risk of spreading in Eastern Washington.

I imagine a majority of the people going to this may be lesbians that want to do stripper fitness without being looked at by straight guys. A similar concept to curves. Looking at the add that The Gateway Zealot posted it seems to be all biological woman with natural bodies through a lavender filter.

Possibly a lesbian-centric crowd that doesn't exclude against the oft biological male, because it's the future...

But this could be exploited. My former roommate is one of those "Male Lesbians," AKA, a glorified dyke fetish for a perennial beta male. But technically "queer."

And I think if he went to this class he'd be kicked out for making gay women and possibly everyone uncomfortable. Maybe prompt some type of caveat for "No males identifying as lesbians allowed!"

No, there's a number of guys who do it for fitness and enjoyment as well.  It's been a "thing" for awhile.  Just google "men's pole dancing" and you'll see videos of performances as well as classes offered by studios, etc (at least, that's what showed up for me)

It'd be a "men only" class...like this one: https://www.opendance.academy/course/men...e-dancing/

I am officially behind LGBT culture than. I don't think I am paying enough attention. That ad for the men only stripper class is some high quality gay guy fap material. He is drooling in hope the entire class looks exactly like that.

Ads are supposed to appeal. They each appeal to a demographic that is not entirely inclusive. This one unofficially appeals to women although being labeled all-inclusive.



The psychology behind the very full figured girl being shown working out with the smaller girl projects a similar thing a curves ad would, only with a gay inflection.

And that ad is sapphoerotic like Mr. Muscles on the maypole is homoerotic. It's a very lesbian-feminist attuned ad because it rejects a misogynistic ideal of beauty while specificly using a shade of lavender.

I see lavender + natural women + queer and it subconsciously adds up to 1970s lesbian feminism.

I don't see what is the issue or deal here. How does some dudes (or dudettes and everything in between) taking some pole dancing classes affect you (or anyone, for that matter)?
Why or how is it wrong, at any level, for you to frown so hard upon it? I sincerely struggle to see any harm coming from this.
If instead of saying "free queer pole dancing lessons", the invitation said "free emo [or goth, or jew or catholic or whichever other community] pole dancing lessons", would you have also found it as offending or useless, as to be worthy of your time reading the news and making a post about it?
Gay people exist. They like to hang around other gay people. Get over it!
Live and let live and all that jazz.

Out of all the happenings in the world in general and specifically in the alternative lifestyle community, this seems to be the proverbial "tempest in a tea cup". This doesnt bother nor effect anybody else, so who cares? 

A lot of this is similar to the trials and tribulations to normalization the Hippy movement in the 60s/70s, there's ceiling and sometimes it takes a while for sides to establish when to pick and choose thier battles and label theit boundaries.  

or maybe i was just in an industry where there were plenty of professionals of the community and you see generally they are no different than any other demographic segment, all demographic segments have thier fringe elements where the moderate core wonder WITF are they thinking.

There are some things in the LGBT movement that are offensive and things that are not. WSU is about as close to a liberal arts college as you can get being a public land grant university.

Like, "So you're saying the liberal university kids in the godforsaken isolated corner of Washington embrace the woke? Get out!"

Yet, say this class was "Dragqueen stripper fitness for all ages" (how would that even work?) Then it's getting creepy and inappropriate and Chaya Raichik and her pent up lesbianism (because no one is that obsessed without there being repression) have something to take to TikTok to influence people over.

I think the attempted woke reeducation is mostly done. It's playing defense and waiting for anti-LGBT legislation to start pushing it in people's faces again.
