There was a club called the Gay Lords who hung out in the area of 188 St. and Tiebout Avenue--Our Lady of Mercy parish, just south of Fordham Road. The time frame I'm talking about is the early fifties. They were mostly Irish, as was the neighborhood, but may have had some Italian members. Some of the members were Bobby H, Tom G, Billy M, Richie G. and The Gillespie brothers.
