Denver Wrangler has been found guilty of discrimination by the State of Colorado. If you choose to give your money or support to this shi*t hole, you are supporting discrimination.... Excerpt from the DORA determination letter: At face value, the Respondents policies appear legitimate and non-discriminatory. However, the evidence indicates that the Respondent uses its policies to select patrons whose appearance is masculine, whether or not they are male or female, for entry into its club. In other words, a female with a masculine gender presentation would be permitted to enter, whereas, a male presenting as a female would be denied entry. This is evident from the Respondents Dress Code policy, which does not permit high-heeled shoes, appearance altering make-up, or strong perfumes. The Respondent, additionally, states that it makes exceptions to its make-up rule for theme-parties and Halloween, which is generally when gay men dressed in drag are more likely to be accepted. Yet, the Respondent at these times does not seem concerned about easily guaranteeing that the identification matches the person presenting it. In viewing the totality of the evidence, i.e., the Beer Bust, the Dress Code policy and its exceptions, and prior history of using Gender-Matching Identification policy, it is reasonable to conclude that the Respondents Appearance-Matching Identification policy demonstrates a discriminatory animus towards individuals whose appearance and qualities are effeminate. These policies are consistent with the Bearculture of the club on the above reasons, there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the circumstances of the denial raise a reasonable inference of unlawful discrimination based on protected classes.
