For my second quarter interactive class, my main project was designing a website based on a long, in-depth profile. I chose the culture in Chicago around horror movies and horror-themed social events and clubs. The website doesn't quite exist anymore since it was designed around the URL's of the class's website (that disappears at the end of every semester) so I have to rebuild it someday. However, I don't want all the reporting and work to go to waste so here's the parts of it I can share here.

Transgender individuals still face many hurdles, even within the LGBT world. And the photo identification policy at northwest suburban Hunters Nightclub has come to represent some of them.
Hunters is a popular gay bar in an unincorporated area near Elk Grove Village that has come under criticism recently for tightened ID policies that some in the transgender community say is discriminatory.
Claiming that their liquor license was in danger, the establishment no longer admits patrons who don’t look enough like the photo on their IDs. The policy has come to be known as the “Two Faces, Two ID’s” rule and makes it necessary for gender variant people to obtain a second valid photo ID.
