Gay panic is perfectly fine until it screws you over by being financially irresponsible D:

Never feel bad about tipping $20s! Dancers are like waitstaff, they make the majority of their money from tips, and spending as much as you would tip for a group dinner is good club etiquette. In Hollywood especially it’s a generous but still within normal amount to leave at stage, and was probably deeply appreciated by the dancer. Btw, for that move, they’re supporting their body weight with their right hand and counterbalancing their body with their legs, and for similar moves, shift that to gripping the pole between their torso and inner thigh— lots of strength in pole!

LOL, it's difficult when you're in the middle of gay panic! I've panicked like that too - I used to go to strip clubs when I was younger!
