ezs note:  If you live in or near Traverse City  (border of Grand Traverse and Leelanau counties) hey, you have the right to print whatever sign you want.  But YOU have the right to refuse to do any business with them.  If you have any cis friends, TELL THEM.  With any luck, Studio 8 will become Studio Zero.
