A spokesperson for the event defended Bentz and the pole dancing for kids, according to Fox News.

“The Pride Festival of Central Pennsylvania stands behind the actions of Mr. Bentz whose Metro Enterprises provided nothing more than a vehicle of fun and exercise at last weekend’s Pride Festival,” the spokesperson told the outlet.

Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf endorsed the event, saying it was “time to unite and denounce discrimination and violence towards LGBTQ individuals,” according to a July 30 letter posted on the event’s website.
