how ignacio de la torre y mier died
On the night of November 17, 1901, 42 men (half of them dressed as women) gathered in a property on La Paz Street, in the Historic Center of Mexico City to celebrate a party.
The official result of the raid was 42 people arrested, derived from a nonsensical interpretation of the Penal Code of the time, which ambiguously defined crimes against morals and good customs in the participants.
However, the event went down in history as ‘the Dance of the 41’, since one of those arrested was released by presidential order: Ignacio de la Torre y Mier, a young businessman and son of landowners, son-in-law of Porfirio Díaz.
In spite of the fact that most of the guests had a direct relationship with the spheres of power that governed the country at that time, keeping Ignacio de la Torre y Mier’s homosexuality hidden became an imperative for the government in office.
In the days following the raid, the description of the event known since then as the Dance of the 41 made headlines and fueled a scandal that the chronicles of the time detailed with homophobia and disdain.
ignacio de la torre y mier tuvo hijos
José Ignacio Mariano Santiago Joaquín Francisco de la Torre y Mier (25 de julio de 1866 – 1 de abril de 1918) fue un empresario, político y propietario de una hacienda mexicana, yerno de Porfirio Díaz, entonces presidente de México, casado con su hija mayor, Amada Díaz. Su apodo era “El Yerno de su Suegro”.
Se ha especulado mucho sobre la sexualidad de De la Torre. Llevaba una vida separada de su esposa, quien vivía en un ala de la mansión en el Paseo de la Reforma y sólo lo acompañaba a los actos sociales y presidenciales. Se dice que la única vez que el presidente estuvo de visita en Amada, Ignacio llegó a casa borracho e insultó a su esposa, y entonces el presidente echó a Ignacio de la casa[cita requerida].
El 18 de noviembre de 1901 la policía hizo una redada en un baile de disfraces conocido como el Baile de los cuarenta y uno, donde fueron detenidos 41 hombres. De la Torre no era uno de estos hombres. Sin embargo, hubo rumores de que De la Torre asistió y se libró del castigo por ser el yerno del presidente[2][3][4][5] Esto ha continuado como una creencia en la cultura popular y ha hecho que se le llame el número “42”.
ignacio de la torre had children
Born on July 25, 1866, Ignacio de la Torre y Mier was a Mexican businessman, landowner and politician who is remembered for being related to the family of President Porfirio Díaz, as he was married to his eldest daughter, Amada Díaz.
He was the youngest of the seven children of businessman Isidoro Fernando José Máximo de la Torre Carsí, founder of the Jecker-Torre & Cía. firm, responsible for issuing the bonds that would be the pretext for the French intervention; and his wife María Luisa de los Ángeles Mier Celis.
José Ignacio Mariano Santiago Joaquín Francisco de la Torre y Mier had met Amada, at the time suitor of General Fernando González Mantecón, son of Porfirio’s compadre, Manuel González; at a ball held in the spring of 1887.
The De la Torre-Díaz marriage was doomed to failure because his attitude would scandalize society and the presidential family for his licentious habits and for having homosexual relations.
It is said that on a certain occasion when President Diaz was at home visiting Amada, De la Torre arrived drunk and insulted his wife. The president’s reaction was not long in coming, he literally kicked him out of the place.
