Fallout from Crews Inn co-owner David Moore temporarily banning from his bar drag queens and transgender women whose appearance does not match their ID is coming to a close, almost three months after it began.
Moore sent an open letter to Dallas Voice offices this week. The letter reads:
"We at the Crews Inn do not discriminate. We appreciate all of our customers. If anyone has felt offended or discriminated against, we certainly did not intend to do so.
"We believe that all customers should have a good experience at the Crews Inn, and we take our responsibility to ensure that seriously."
The letter marks the first time Moore has publically commented about the ban since July. It comes on the heels of mediation that resulted from two complaints of discrimination filed against Crews Inn with the city's Fair Housing Office.
