ultratomb voice; when happening through the streets of Fray Servando Teresa de
Mier and seeing the gravel of that cinema that was the Colonial Cinema constructed by Carlos Crombé and inaugurated the 1
of June of 1940 for 5000 people [1][1]. Ustedas which the Blockbuster and the monopolies of chiquitas rooms were born in the
days of, does not know what they mean for the history of binds gay, these great
spaces. In these places many homosexuals found if not the great love of their
life, if the passion in a voluntary permanence. Nowadays, the independent
cinemas are very few; almost all the rooms belong to Cinemark or Cinemex and
are so decent and pulcras! , that any attempt of binds, it wraps or it takes is
totally impossible.
For that reason Su Maje it will give a review
them on these spaces in extinction beginning with 22 of March of the 1895 with
the projection for the first time and for a public of 30 people cinematographic
experience in charge of the Lumiere brothers: the cinema had been born [2][2]. The cinema made its appearance in

In the street of Santa Veracruz Not 19, was the Venice Hall, where films of explicit sex

played with the double Mexican moral; on the one hand they were against the sin
and by the other they allowed to the functions for single men this way the
functions for single men leave for example the Degollado Theater in Guadalajara
and they now take refuge to the Apolo Theater - Cuauhtemoc- Cinema or to the
working carp to a flank of the Church of San Juan de [19]11 God [20][].
Between 1920 and 1940 because of the American

are: Sueño de Fray Vergazo, the

Francisco I. Log, when the first restrictive lineamientos for the incipiente
filmic activity in the public moral settled down please. In fact, at the end of
1910, a department of Cinematographic, dependent Censorship of the Secretariat
of Interior worked already [26][15]. The moral has been pretext of the governmental
scissors, but the politically incorrect subjects have given much more that to
do to the Mexican authoritarian system [27][16].
In 1899 the City council of the three

cinema to work them little by little: “In another occasion I embraced it in the
cinema. As he did not do anything I took his arm and I put it in my neck. A
little separated. - Is necessary that it embraces to you? - Yes, but hard - I
said approaching me its ear. To thus I was taming…” [28][it [29]17]. Nandino also speaks to us of the cinito
