Many argue a transsexual woman was the 'moral winner' in a popularity competition started by a downtown bar to win a pair of fake breasts

A bar is being accused by the LGBT community of discriminating against a transsexual woman they argue was the true winner of a contest to win breast enhancement surgery.

The competition was started by Kostbar – located on Gothersgade in central Copenhagen – and ignited a media storm when it was reported in early March.

The premise was simple. Competitors were asked to send in a photo along with a brief explanation of why they should win a new pair of silicone breasts. The competitors were displayed on the bar's Facebook page and the winner would be the individual with the most number of 'likes'.

If adults want a picture of themselves on public display in a bar, that's their business.
