S-KAREOKE?

MAYBE "SHE'S HAVING MY BABY" WASN'T THE MOST APPROPRIATE SONG CHOICE.

Transsexual Files Complaint Over Karaoke Woman Says Bar Banned Her From Singing

WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. -- A transgendered woman who said a Connecticut bar refused to allow her to sing on a karaoke night has filed a complaint with the state Liquor Commission.
Michelle Merrill said a manager at the Skyline Restaurant in Windsor Locks would not let her sing on Aug. 22 because she is a transsexual. The 35-year-old Enfield resident was born a male and began sex-change procedures 10 years ago.

Merrill said the manager told her other patrons complained that she used the women's bathroom and he didn't want people like her in the bar.

The restaurant's owner, Gina Pastula, denied the discrimination allegation. She declined to name the manager working that night.
