It may not be on their website but it is still going strong and it is enforced by the bar staff.” Their “policy” was taken off their website. I am also going to point out that that Denver Wrangler has been previously challenged. Not only is drag an integral part of LGBT culture, our trans- and genderqueer kin should not be denied entry into an established whose primary function is to take money from the LGBT community. Then women started telling me how they are discriminated and treated horribly by the Denver Wrangler when they have gone with their friends.” They were shocked I was even asking and more shocked that a gay bar on Denver would do this. I also want to point out that after this incident, I went into three different bars (two of which are straight) with my ID and asked the bartender if they would serve me. Their response was very clear: no drag queens, no trans (unless your ID matches your gender identity), and nobody who doesn’t adhere to their myopic view of masculinity. I then got into a four minute argument with them (all on video) about this discriminatory policy. I asked how would they know the difference and they tried to say the first step for any trans individual is to get a new ID from the state. “I pointed out that Colorado has an anti-discrimination law against transphobia, their response is that I am not trans. Somehow the Denver wrangler has persuaded youtube to take down that video.

The youtube Vito recoreded on public property with full knowledge of the Denver Wrangler staff: I was denied entry for the above stated policy by General Manager Phil and the Assistant Manager Pat.” “I did not know this until the night of 8/31, when I went there in Drag after a drag pageant at Hamburger Mary’s. “The Denver Wrangler has a well documented history of discriminating against people whose perceived gender identity on their ID does not match how they present.” Vito John Marzano posted this to the facebook group “Boycott the Denver Wrangler”:

The Wrangler has since removed that discriminating policy from their website but obviously they still adhere to it in thought word and deed. Autumn Sandeen posted about this bar while while trying to find a trans friendly watering hole for a upcoming visit to Denver on Pams House Blend in 2008. This was not the first time the Wrangler has been called out on transphobia.
