Banned Transgender Customers To Get $400K From Bar

Source: Kristian Foden-Vencil Oregon Public Brroadcasting

The Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries investigated a bar formerly known as the P Club after the owner left phone messages for one of the so-called “Rose City T-Girls.”

That’s a group of transgender customers who frequented the bar on Friday nights.

The owner asked them to stop visiting because business was down on Fridays and he didn’t want the P Club to be known as a “tranny bar.”

Let's hope the place becomes known as a closed bar!

but you wont be able to sue for reasons like this anymore.

The laws will be changed to make it impossible.

Hell, if the teaparty get their way, tort suits will go away first.

And the odds of that happening are better than the Tea Party in the White House.

You see most candidates on the GOP side are either directly aligned with the teaparty or beholding to them.

They'll institute "loser pays" - the deep-pocketed defendant's best friend.
