text: ... gay bars welcome EVERYONE and wouldn't refuse to serve ya.
  
  When I lived in Chicago I lived next to a cross dresser bar, Big Chicks.  Super crappy part of town, rents were cheap, not a Starbucks anywhere near, so I lived there.  The pours at that bar were stiff, the brunches on Saturdays and Sundays were excellent, and no one gave a crap about one's sexual orientation we all lived in that neighborhood in relative peace and harmony ... everyone was welcome and treated with respect at Big Chicks.
  
  THAT is the USA that should and does exist except for this fartknocker in Lakewood.
