Some gay places from long ago. Greensboro and Guadalajara.









I spent one New Year’s Eve in Guadalajara, maybe ’84 or ’85. A bunch of us went to the big gay disco, called Monica’s, for the midnight party.
Just after midnight, the music stopped. I thought, “no way!”
In marched a rockin’ mariachi band that the bar had hired that played most of the night. Some of them looked a little nervous when they surveyed the crowd. 😀
It was funny to see drag queens and a disco full of gay people stomping out those traditional dances. I didn’t know how to do them, but plenty were willing to teach.
The disco also had a kitchen. After midnight, they opened the service area and the food came rolling out. Massive.
What a party.
