In 1950 The Puerto Rican Nationalist Party organized a series of uprisings that took 
place in various Puerto Rican cities on October 30th. The uprisings were suppressed 
by strong ground and air military force. For most Americans, these events are unknown. 
For most Puerto Ricans, they are but another blood stain on our path to nationhood. 
‘The Corner Queen -- La Loca de la Esquina: A Romance and a Revolution’ 
narrates the events preceding the revolt -- from March to November of 1950 -- from 
the point of view of a drag queen who innocently gets involved with Julio, a student 
revolutionary.

“Una mezcla de historia, humor y sátira. No se puede soltar...... El trasfondo histórico 
tiene un valor incalculable y la capacidad de comprender la realidad de la persona 
‘gay’ en una sociedad homofóbica es maravillosa.” Dra. Gloria Mock. Sexóloga.
