Ok, this is rich: Gold Club Owner: “I Am Not a Strip Club”
Call them adult entertainment. Call them nude dancing clubs. Just, whatever you do, don’t call them strip clubs.
“I am not a strip club,” declared Nexus Gold Club owner Ron Hunt in an impassioned speech before Ward 5 residents at Bethesda Baptist Church last night. Hunt prefers the term “gentlemen’s club” to describe Nexus, a glitzy nightclub that offered nude dancing until it was closed by the city last fall.
Alright, first, you’re speaking at a Baptist Church. Already, this is a tough sell. But dude, if the chicks take off their clothes for money, they’re strippers, and if they’re doing it in your club, you have a strip club.
If you aren’t comfortable with that, then perhaps you should not be owning a strip club, or maybe the girls should leave their clothes on, but either way, stop bullshitting us. We support strip clubs and strippers; just don’t act like you’re something you’re not.
