  • Summary

  • On November 17, 1901 a societal scandal changed LGBTQ history in Mexico forever. Police raided a secret dance in Mexico City, where 42 of Mexican's elite men were caught in an all man party. Half the men were dressed as women. The official number put out by the government was 41, because the 42nd attendee and organizer was said to be President Porfirio Diaz' son in law Ignacio de la Torre y Mier. The number 41 was never the same.

    In this episode, Cristina tells Carmen about this epic scandal in Mexican history.
