Homosexuals are appearing openly again in Greater Miami and making money for the operators of clubs which cater to them. Several hundred possibly more than 1,000 are here this winter and have found that the heat is off from a public protest campaign less than two years ago. Word now is going back up north that Miami has lifted the barriers once more. A three-week survey by The Miami News showed that the pervert colony is flocking back in the same places raided consistently during the “purge” of 1954.

Some Of Their Hangouts Here are the night spots where a News reporter actually was approached: Samba Bar, 229 NE 1st St.: Carnival Bar, 137 NE 3rd Ave.; Vick’s Bar, 39 NE 2nd Ave.; Return, Off Again: El Carol Bar, 930 LeJeune Rd.; Club Benni, 1610 Alton Rd., Miami Beach; Circus Bar, 401 Ocean Dr., Miami Beach; Club Echo, 1446 Ocean Dr., Miami Beach.

Open homosexuality also was found at several other places, including the area around 22nd Street on the ocean side of Miami Beach, During several visits, that area was found to be a haven for as many as 100 or or more obvious deviates at one time. The Circus Bar employs as bartenders and entertainers men who wear lipstick, rouge and other makeup. Two of the employees made approaches while a Miami News reporter and photographer were sitting at the bar.
