In 1914, Long Beach leaders hired two bounty hunters to entrapgay men so the city could essentially blackmail and remove them with fines and public humiliation. Most men paid the fine and quietly slipped out of town. One man - a banker - committed suicide and two others sued the city.

Fittingly, it's coming to the Long Beach Playhouse.
