So I have decided to take up a cause.

I was eating lunch on gyno row at the local strip club last Sunday, when i had an epiphany.

I have never seen anyone with special needs in the erotic dance industry!

.....and i think i know why.

Our federal government's free health care system (that's right you yanks, we don't pay a cent for pap smears ;-) ) has completely overlooked making any kind of provisions for those with disabilities to make any kind of headway into this lucrative profession!!



I have yet to see one wheelchair ramp enabling stage access at a club, let alone guide rails (unless you consider the pole i guess).

Now that I realize this, I feel I have no choice. I am going to do the right thing.

On a going forward basis petitions will be distributed nationwide (ask your local bus driver....the one driving the short bus), to lobby the goverment for funding.

At the outset I am only requesting the essential neccessities of ;special needs strppers' be covered (ie: assistants to aid in clothing removal, etc)

I have a feeling that once word gets out accross Canada that our goverment is aware of and is addressing this need; there will be a huge spike in the number of handicapped people employed in the adult entertainment industry....

It feels really good at the end of the day knowing i am making a difference.
