No Trans at the Gay Bar
The Wrangler is a gaybar in Denver, my hometown. It's kind of a bear bar.
A couple transphobic links:
Gender matching I.D. required.
No Beer for Transpeople
Ok.. so they're trying to keep that bear vibe going there or something, by excluding DQs/TVs/TG/TS? I guess that's the idea. But I'd sure be pissed if, like, some straight bar excluded me based on my gender expression. This isn't like a swanky nightclub kicking someone out cuz they're in tennies, it's excluding someone because of their identity. I'm pretty sure they're breaking city ordinance.
Jerks.
