http://www.windycitymediagroup.com/gay/lesbian/news/ARTICLE.php?AID=22834Hunters Night Club in Elk Grove Village has a long history of serving Chicago's LGBT community. But over the last couple of years, policy changes regarding proper identification for transgender and cross-dressing individuals have barred much of that crowd from entry, leaving some Hunters patrons feeling marginalized.
The changes are largely due to a few incidents that have threatened the club's liquor license. Hunters manager Peter Landorf said the incidents involved transgender individuals doing inappropriate things in public and soliciting sex on the classified ads Web site Craigslist.
As a result, the club decided to be more cautious of who it lets inside.
