Please have your drag ID ready: CraigsList prostitutes cause gay bar conundrum

''Since I am not a full-time trans, it is not really feasible for me to have my 'femme' photo on my license. This is discrimination, pure and simple... I and others like me basically go into Hunters in costume [as women], and now our government-issued ID needs to reflect this, even if we live our daily lives primarily as men?''

Andy, a Illinois bar patron who is unhappy with a new restriction put forth by Hunters Nightclub near Chicago, IL. The owner says prostitution advertisers on CraigsList say they are going to his bar, and he's afraid he might lose his license if he does require patrons to look like their ID. (Chicago Tribune)
