"Attorney Renee Hanover took the case of four juvenile transvestites who were arrested Aug. 21, 1973, on charges of cross-dressing and underage drinking. The young men, aged 17 to 20, said they had entered a tavern at 2200 W. 21st Pl. to buy cigarettes; one used the women's bathroom. An altercation with patrons ensued, the four were beaten up, but police from the 10th District arrested the youths."
