On the night of March 24, "Roxy Rockefeller" ( the individual's non-legal preferred name for purposes of this article ) and two of her friends were allegedly turned away from Elk Grove Village's Hunters Nightclub. Roxy told Windy City Times that although she and her friends had come to the bar in drag several times before with no problems, that night was different. They were allegedly told that their drivers licenses needed to match their personas, and even when Roxy offered to remove her wig, they were still allegedly denied entrance. According to Rockefeller, the staff cited a Cook County law regarding IDs.

Peter Landorf, Hunters' owner, told Windy City Times that on that particular evening, Rockefeller and her friends were turned away because of concerns over the Cook County ordinance due to a specific "one-time" occurrence in the club that night. "They are welcome in our club," Landorf said.
