The Crown Jewel - LGBT Los Angeles (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
Downtown on the corner of 8th and Olive the glowing neon crown beckoned office workers and other gay men into the Crown Jewel in the '40s and '50s. Near the library, The Crown Jewel had a different atmosphere from most gay bars, it required a coat and tie. That didn't stop the LAPD Vice Squad from entrapment. The Crown Jewel was owned by Harry Weiss the proprietor of two other gay bars and a lawyer since 1941, he regularly defended gaymen who arrested for homosexual activity.
