According to legend, God gave Vincente Ferrer, patron saint of Juchitan, a bagful of queers, and everywhere he travelled, he left behind a homosexual. But when he reached Juchitan, Vincente's bag came undone, spilling all the homosexuals out in the town. This is the story of a town in Mexico that has a very different attitude toward homosexuality than any of the areas surrounding it.
