A storm is a-brewing in Elk Grove Village. A great big ->-bleeped-<- storm. Hunters Nightclub, a suburban gay bar that gained international media attention earlier this year by instituting a door policy banning patrons whose ID photos do not match their gender presentation, is the subject of an activist demonstration planned for Friday, October 23, at 11 p.m. Transgendered Chicagoans and their allies will "storm" the bar dressed in drag and gender-variant gear as a challenge to the policy they (plus the ACLU and gay media nationwide) consider discriminatory.

I checked a couple of local TG sites and neither had any posts about this.  They do now.

This will be interesting.  But it isn't enough to get me to go there.  I just don't like the place.
