RESPECT MY PREFERENCES THE SAME WAY AS I RESPECT YOURS

Come have fun and enjoy an evening together.

5×8+1 is a safe place to cruise or to get picked up.

At midnight on November 20, 1901, the police raided a house on Calle de la Paz (today, Calle Jesús Carranza) on the outskirts of Mexico City and took forty-one persons who belonged to an elite club to jail... for dancing.
For dancing?
It was that half of them were dressed in men's clothes and the other half women´s clothes.
And ...so what?
Well, they were all men.
Well, men... what you would call men, shouldn't be doing things like that. Were they punished?
Of course! Some, like President Porfirio's son-in-law, were only admonished and those who didn't have friends in such high places were sentenced to public service.
When did they start?
The very next morning... sweeping the streets at dawn!
Public service and public scrutiny!
They say that the people gathered in the streets that morning just to see who these pompus queers were.
And those who didn´t have any of the right connections ?
They were sent to a penal colony in the Yucatán.
And did they go "straight" ?
No! The newspapers of the day said that there was one other prisoner that made quite a scene to make himself stand out from the "rest of the prisoners" for the crowd of curious onlookers who were watching the condemned men leave. He shouted:
They're putting me away for theft,
weilding a knife and assault;
not for 5×8+1 (forty-one)!
The good thing is that this happened a long time ago. Today, we enjoy more freedom thanks to all of those that preceded us that had the courage to defend their preferences. Our appreciation goes to all them and our commitment is to continue fighting for respect of sexual diversity.
