Hideout Bar Faces Another Discrimination Penalty | Dover News

The Hideout Arcade Bar faces another $15,000 penalty for violating Delaware’s anti-discrimination law after being found guilty of gender identity discrimination and retaliation against transgender woman Kaitie Sorber. This follows a prior case involving another transgender patron — the bar’s owner, Bryan Derrickson, plans to appeal, calling the law confusing. Sorber, who was banned and forced into the men’s restroom due to an outdated ID, says she was humiliated. The commission ruled that Delaware law defines gender identity by appearance and behavior, not documents — and ordered staff training, policy updates, and reinstatement of Sorber, though she still fears returning. This ruling reinforces the need to protect everyone’s right to equal treatment, regardless of ID. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
