Big Earls Bait shop and Bar East Texas Gets a Big LGBT Make Over.

Just a few days ago a couple were told we don't like fags and told not to come back to a east Texas eatery and bait shop. "We don't want men wearing dresses coming here" said Big Earl who owner of big Earls Bait Shop just east of Pittsbug Texas .

If Big Earl was talking about them thar transsexuuals, I guess he meant me. I live in Fort Worth, which is a fairly friendly place so I was taken aback by Earls hostility.

Since then Big Earls has had a total makeover, becoming one of the best known stops for LGBT people in east Texas. Earl says y'all come on down to big Earls. According toYELP and Google reviews the food sucks but you might get a lap dance from the big toothless queen, if you are lucky.

MARTA Police have arrested two men for their alleged involvement in a fight last week that was caught on video and went viral on the internet.
Frederick L. Missick and Luther L. Thomas were charged with disorderly conduct and have been suspended from the transit service, MARTA officials said.

Two passengers said the fight began after they were harassed by Missick and Thomas because they are transgender, MARTA officials said. Although the brawl was taped by other passengers, MARTA officials say the investigation was hampered by a lack of witnesses willing to come forward.
Missick, 35, was arrested today, according to jail records. Thomas, 34, was arrested Thursday. Both are being held at the Fulton County Jail on $2,500 bond.
Jail records show that Thomas has been arrested twice before by MARTA police. In December 2005, on charges of simple battery, theft by taking and criminal reproduction and sale of recorded material.
