Jewel's Catch One - 1972 - Los Angeles Gay History (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
Today, it jumps and pumps as an energetic dance club and community center in the historic heart of the Pico district; however, Jewel's Catch One is more than just another L.A. gay bar. When it opened its doors in 1972, Jewel’s was the first exclusively gay and lesbian disco for African-Americans. Much of the money raised at the club goes to serve their alternative nonprofit medical clinic next door, the Village Health Foundation—dedicated to providing healthcare to all, regardless of ethnic background, sexual orientation or their financial situation.
