(AP) -- A judge has scheduled a November jury trial in a civil lawsuit filed by a biracial, trans gender person against an Appleton nightclub. Twenty-eight-year-old Sierra Broussard alleges the Park Central nightclub denied entrance based on race and Broussard's transgender status. Outagamie County Judge Mitch Metropulos has scheduled a trial Nov. 17 to 18. The civil complaint says one employee told Broussard that using either bathroom "would cause confusion for the other patrons." Broussard is seeking compensatory and punitive damages, but does not indicate an amount in the lawsuit. The club owner, Concepts Unlimited, denies that Broussard was denied admission based on race or trans-gender. ------ Information from: The Post-Crescent, http://www.postcrescent.com (Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press.
