A conversation with writers, editors, and artists related to this groundbreaking book about the contributions of the gay community to Mexican culture. Nayar Rivera, Michael Schuessler, Alejandro Varderi and Earl Dax will participate.  

The ball of “The Famous 41” held during the Porfiriato, considered Mexico’s Stonewall, the emblematic figure of Salvador Novo (a flaming queen in a country of machos), the struggle for civil rights, the image of the homosexual in film and the relevance of an artist’s sexual orientation: all these themes are made manifest in a culture that is still under construction. One thing is certain: this is yet another of Mexico’s many faces, one that raises its voice and demands to be heard, understood and celebrated.
