Crews Inn co-owner says trans crowd too much to handle on busy nights; performers claim discrimination, plan protest

David Moore, co-owner of the Crews Inn, claims he can legally keep transgender people out of his gay bar on Fitzhugh Avenue in Dallas if their appearances don't match their photo IDs.
Fueled by cheap drink prices and nearly naked, toned men dancing for tips, Tuesday night bar-hopping on Fitzhugh Avenue is becoming a staple in the Dallas LGBT community. So much so that locals have even given the event a nickname — "Trashy Tuesday."

But Crews Inn co-owner David Moore says he plans to remove the "T" — for transgender, that is — from the clientele at his Fitzhugh Avenue bar on Tuesday nights.
