Transgender people and their allies are enraged over a decision to book comedian Dave Chappelle, for four shows beginning Tuesday night, at the Luther Burbank Center in Santa Rosa.

The comedian's show in Minneapolis was recently canceled and North Bay advocates are demanding the same thing happen here.

"I was upset the moment I heard that he was coming to Luther Burbank and that they were hosting him," said Orlando O'Shea, co-founder of a group called TRANSLIFE Sonoma. "Because they have very strong principles - in writing - of inclusion."
