Ableism at Trinity Bar in New Haven, CT

The hatemongers "just doing their jobs" are hatemongers with whack jobs, including the one who recently accused me of faking a disabilty. A bouncer said, "you're not disabled, you're high as a kite". I don't have to let slide discrimination and I won't. Ableism remains wrong no matter times the hatemongers claim the "right to refuse service to anyone". I'm fed up with getting banned from venues for having autism and PTSD.

Also, Trinity Bar isn't an "Irish pub". I was subjected to racial slurs. Some of my ancestors' complexion was darker than mine, and I was labeled "white boy" (and then some).
I don't have to let anyone label me "white", I'm a 3rd genration Irish-American and mixed, not "white", the Irish were never considered "white" by British imperialists or anyone else for that matter; I'm not "white" and so what if I was? The slurs are uncalled for, even if there really were such a thing as a "white" person.
