The Chicago Gay Bar That's Apparently Letting Kids Pick Up Trans Hookers

La Cueva, a Latino queer bar in Chicago's Little Village on the West Side and described as "oldest Latino drag club in the country" (it opened in 1972) is no longer welcome to some in the community. Something about all that prostitution?

    "It's causing a lot of havoc and dismay to the residents of the area," said Raul Montes, Jr., who organized a protest and press conference outside of La Cueva Aug. 17. On nights that the bar is open, he said, there are "transsexuals and ->-bleeped-<-s on every corner," with "young kids picking them up." He claimed that he recently was the subject of attempted solicitation by a group of people he thought to be transgender women. "It was disgusting," he said.
