On a September night in 1958, three New Orleans college students
decided to entertain themselves in the French Quarter by "rolling a
queer" and went looking for a gay man to assault. They chose
Fernando Rios, a tourist from Mexico, who died from the beating he
received. In perhaps the earliest example of the "gay panic"
defense, the three defendants argued that they had no choice but to
beat Rios because he had made an improper advance. When the jury
acquitted them, the courtroom cheered. The author examines the
murder and the trial in detail, and chronicles a time and place in
American history where such a crime was inevitable.
