http://www.samesame.com.au/news/local/2487/Star-City-What-A-Drag.htmIt seems some venues are happy to pull crowds using drag, but that's as far as the cross-dressing is allowed to go.
As reported in the Sydney Morning Herald today, Paul Hurst a transvestite who also refers to himself as Anne-Maree, was refused entry to the Priscilla Bar at Star City Casino's Lyric Theatre in Sydney in late 2006.
Refused entry by a security guard who deemed Hurst a man, and therefore dressed 'inappropriately', Hurst had enjoyed an evening at the bar earlier that year, taking part in the launch of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, the long-running musical at the Lyric that gave the bar it's name.
