1. I've never seen any of Chappelle's comedy at all.

But I know darned well that I don't want to. Every time his name comes up, all I hear is "Eww, transphobia!" That is literally all I associate with him, and I'm sick of hearing about his transphobic ass.

I know I'm in a minority, but I can't possibly be the only one. And I have to say I think it's pretty pathetic when being a raging transphobe is as much a part of somebody's claim to fame as it seems to be with him. I hope this venue kicking him out is the start of a trend. It's high time he started paying a price for his behavior.
