32 years before Stonewall...
There was La Paloma.

Journey into Miami's Queer History and travel to La Paloma, which in 1937, was a gathering place for “homosexuals in evening gowns, trousered lesbians, and prostitutes." On November 15, 1937, the Ku Klux Klan stormed La Paloma, burned crosses outside, violently attacked the club patrons and staff, and threatened to burn the place down - all with the approval of the Dade County Sheriff. But that was only the beginning of the story. Two short weeks later, in defiance of the hatred and threats, La Paloma reopened with the promise of “spicier entertainment than ever”. Join those who call this place “home” as they prepare to put on a show to remember.

Fear abounds, doctors are refusing to see patients, and there are major blood shortages—can Cindy and Jaq overcome their antipathy to work together to help those in need and through helping those in need help themselves?
