IN DEFENSE OF KRYSTAL SUMMERS….I DONT THINK THAT THIS WHOLE THING CAN BE BLAMED ON ONE PERSON AS DAVID MOORE TRIED TO DO…WHATEVER SHE HAS DONE DOES NOT REFLECT ON THE WHOLE TG COMMUNITY…DAVID MOORE WOULD DISCRIMINATE NO MATTER IF KRYSTAL WAS AROUND OR NOT…THATS A FACT!!…I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO STATE FOR THE RECORD THAT SHE WAS THERE TO SHOW SUPPORT AND THAT TO ME SHOWS THAT EVEN SHE IS WILLING TO FIGHT FOR WHAT IS RIGHT!!….NON OF US ARE WITHOUT SKELETONS IN OUR CLOSETS REMEMBER THAT…….THERE ARE OTHER TS’S IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT DO OR HAVE DONE SO MUCH OTHER WORSE THINGS…ARE WE GOING TO BLAME ALL OF THEM AND ENTERTAINERS TOO!! ARE WE GOING TO CALL ALL OF THEM OUT AS WELL??………PLEASE…..ALL I WANT IS FOR US TO HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS AND LETS KEEP THIS PEACEFULL BETWEEN US AT LEAST, …LETS KEEP FOCUS ON WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS HERE….DAVID MOORE AND HIS DISCRIMINATION ON ALLLLLL…”DRAG QUEENS”, “TS’S” AND “GG’S”……EVENTUALLY WHO KNOWS WHEN HE WILL DISCRIMINATE AGAIN!!

Hello everyone!!… First and foremost i would like to thank everyone who has supported us thru this whole ordeal….when i first went to the voice to discuss this problem i had with Mr. Moore’s bartender asking us to leave because we were “TG”, i never expected it to go this far…i just wanted them to know that there still and probably always will be discrimination in our own community…i am not ashamed of who or what i am so i was made to feel humiliation because of what i am and by a gay man who no doubt himself has, i’m sure at one time in his life, has been discriminated against for being gay….i understand that some and not all “DRAG QUEENS” Do act like divas but makes you wonder why and who gives them that kind of power and or status…and yes some steal, beg for drinks and lock themselves up in bathrooms and do whateverwith whomever but everything said…so do ALOTt of other people..GAY included…i didn’t ask for an appolligy from Mr.Moore ….i know that this is only going to buy him more time for this whole thing to blow over and settles so he can and will eventually have another one of his so called “MOODS” as the bartender and acquintance Vickie put it…..to do it again in the future..eventually giving him the right to do it to any other group he does’nt like….his reputation follows him as a shrewed and rude bar owner.he has no right to do this…i have never caused any problems at any club or bar and have never been banned or thrown out from any establishment for being a ts…and yes i know Crews Inn is trashy but i had a friend in town from Canada and we were taking her out on a tuesday night out and to get a taste of the Dallas gay scene…btw she is a ts and yes we all had our I.D.s with us and they matched what we look like all the time..we were never asked for our i.d.’s we were simply asked to leave because he didn’t want drag queens,trannys,and females there that night and when i questioned it i was told to just leave and we did without any problems…..i also want to thank C. W. a former entertainer and title holder himself and you know who you are… for yelling out to us that night…”go home drag queens” people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw rocks!!…i don’t want this thing to devide any of us i want the same right to go and have fun at any public place gay or straight, like everyone else without being asked to leave because of what someone else does or what i am….i am not responsible for the whole ts community i am only responsible for myself!!………….i wish to thank so many people for being there when i thought i would be standing alone..Please come out and show your support again tommorow night at 9:30 p.m. once again thanks to all the media coverge and thank you to all the people at the voice for listening……………………….CELESTE N.

what kiils me the most is that u post these pics of krystal summers when she is one of the main reason why transgender girl have such a bad rap.I mean look how many times she has been kicked out and removed from bars even the ones she works at.She is also the main reason why we are not allowed to go into crews inn.Because of her drinking and cant control her mouth.I would much rather see her set this protest out we dont want or need her support or help.Im not a big fan of hers anyway.This is a time where we are all suppost to pull together but when girl like myself have to go behind her and clean up her mess just so i can be respected is really makes me upset.I have fought for not only my rights but the rights of others to have a place to stand in the gay community and then u have people like her that thinks she is grand and can treat peolpe the way she does.She runs her mouth on the microphone and belittles people in public and thinks it is funny.But the sad thing about it is that not only does she make herself look bad but it reflects on all transgender woman.I on the other hand i am a transgender woman who carries myself like a woman and have upmost respect for the other transgender woman and most of for myself. But i cant seem to bring myself to find any for her(krystal summers).If you watch how she acts in public you can see she dont have respect for her own self.

Very interesting. I made a post about this on my transgender blog. Seems like a classic case of opening your mouth before thinking. Having a gay bar and banning transgenders?????

IF WE ARE SO HORRIBLE ACTING THEN WHY WOULD YOU EMPLOYEE 3-4 DRAG QUEENS IN YOUR BAR??? NOW YOUR SAYING I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THEM I WENT TO A SHOW LAST SUNDAY??? I LIKE THE WAY HIS STORY KEEPS CHANGING. IT WAS VERY UPSETTING TO ME THAT I HAVE GOT MANY MANY MANY EMAILS FROM DRAG QUEENS AND TRANSSEXUALS TELLING ME THAT THEY ALSO GOT KICKED OUT BUT DIDNT FEEL THEY COULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY HAVE ALL BEEN SO POSITIVE AND THANKFUL TO EVERYONE THAT CAME LAST TUESDAY TO PROTEST THIS UN-TOLERABLE BAN, AND THANKS TO THOSE WHO COULD NOT MAKE IT, BUT HAVE EMAILED EVERYONE THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS MATTER,TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT. WE DONT BELIEVE WE ARE MAKING THIS A BIGGER DEAL THEN WHAT IT IS. HOW WOULD HE OR ANYBODY FEEL TO NOT BE ALLOWED IN SOMEWHERE BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE. IT FEELS VERY DEGRADING AND I FELT ASHAMED, NOBODY SHOULD EVER FEEL ASHAMED BECAUSE OF HOW YOU WERE BORN. IT FELT LIKE JR HIGH SCHOOL ALL OVER AGAIN, THIS WAS A PLACE WHERE WE ARE SUPPOSE TO FEEL SAFE WITHIN OUR OWN COMMUNITY. ONCE AGAIN WE’D LIKE TO SAY THANKS TO THE STAFF OF DALLAS VOICE , BEN BRISCOE, CHANCE, D MAGAZINE AND THE 2 LOVELY LADIES WHO INTERVIEWED US(SORRY I FORGOT UR NAMES BUT NOT YALL), MR FRAZIER, ZIPPERS, HIDEAWAY, MATT, DANIEL WILLIAMS,KYLE AND KERI,ALL THE REST OF THE MEDIA, ORGANIZATIONS, AND PEOPLE WHO MADE IT TO THE PROTEST AND TO THOSE WHO COULDNT BUT HAVE SUPPORTED US IN OTHER WAYS. IF WE HAVE FORGOTTEN ANYONE PLEAE FORGIVE US!!! IVANA AND CELESTE XOXOXO

JUST WANTED TO STOP IN AND SAY THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO MADE IT TO THE OUR PEACEFUL PROTEST LAST TUESDAY. IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME THAT SOOO MANY OF YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE WERE COMING FROM. ITS JUST WRONG TO KICK SOMEONE OUT OF A BUSINESS BECAUSE OF WHO THEY ARE OR WHAT SOMEONE ELSE DID. FROM THE BEGINNING I HAD SUGGESTED THAT EVERYONE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS NOT THE WHOLE GROUP. IM SURE THEIR ARE BAD APPLES IN EVERY GROUP, BUT WHY ARE WE BEING TARGETED OUT????? MY ID MATCHES MY FACE, BUT WAS NEVER ASKED FOR MY ID NOR WAS THERE ANYONE AT THE DOOR TO CHECK FOR MY ID. I AM NO DIVA NOR HAVE EVER ASKED TO BE TREATED LIKE ONE, BUT NOW ACCORDING TO THE NEW ARTICLE WE HAVE TO ASK FOR THE OWNER PERSONALLY EVERY TIME A TRANSSEXUAL OR DRAG QUEEN ENTERS THIS BAR, IF YOUR ID DOESNT MATCH???? SOUNDS LIKE ASKING FOR DIVA TREATMENT AND STILL DISCRIMINATING TREATMENT TO ME? AS SEEN ON THE D MAGAZINE VIDEO HE NOW IS SAYING HE HAS NO PROBLEM WITH US, NOT WHAT I NOR MANY TRANSSEXUAL OR DRAG QUEENS HAVE SEEN

I have been in there several times through the years and never have I seen a problem involving a drag queen. Many of the communities drag queens work there or they have done shows there. David Moore needs to remember how he pays his bills and where his money comes from. He may want to keep out the hustlers that sell drugs in his bathrooms that is who is causing the problems and not spending money. You have the target on the wrong people. Now that’s a good business decision (right). The business has been going down hill for some time now and this may just be his way of getting attention. His drag queen bartenders have really been put in a bad position.

Kia, you are out of control. This is a serious issue and you are talking about protein slurpees. You are probably one of the ones that got us all kicked out.
