The 1920s and 1930s saw the emergence of notable and visible gay & lesbian presence and subculture in various cities in the USA.
During the early 1930s in Hollywood, gay clubs and performers, known as "pansy performers", experienced a surge in underground popularity~
a veritable Pansy Craze from 1930 until the repeal of prohibition in 1933. After the repeal of prohibition, this tolerance waned.
Any sympathetic portrayal of gay characters (termed sexual perverts) was prohibited by the motion-picture production code from being included in Hollywood films.
