What happened

Sierra D. Broussard, 28, of Appleton, filed a civil suit against Park Central, a downtown Appleton nightclub, claiming she was denied admission June 21 because she is black and a transsexual.

Broussard said she was twice denied entrance to Park Central, 318 W. College Ave., and said an employee told her if she "used either bathroom it would cause confusion for the other patrons," and that she should go to a club that caters to "her kind."

Her name and appearance identifies her as a woman, but her identification lists her as a man, and she said she doesn't plan on having the necessary surgery to complete her transformation from male to female.
