Alamo, Texas - On the last weekend of February, Alejandro Casas, 59, aka, El Divo 956 of McAllen was escorted out from the outdoor Alamo Dance Hall of La Pulga de Alamo (Alamo Flea Market) and banned from having men place dollars on his waistband while dancing, according to Casas. Apparently, someone complained that Casas was dancing in a feminine way at the dance hall and men were placing dollars on his waistband. At no time did Casas commit any inappropriate behavior deemed scandalous, sexual in nature, nor did he strip in front of the crowd including children.
The Pulga del Alamo doesn't not have any policy to ban LGBTQ members from the surrounding communities for wearing their personal choice of dress attire and enjoying their lifestyle while in public without bothering anyone.
At the Pulga del Alamo dance hall, there are no signs defining rules of conduct for flea market patrons, nor a required dress code at the dance hall where entertainment is provided other than "no drinking" allowed in the dance floor.
During the weekend, hundreds of local people and from other nearby communities gathered at the flea market for bargains and to enjoy live band music entertainment, which also attracts other individuals that express their own social media popular personalities including their style of dancing to the pulga cumbia music. Most of these individuals post short videos showing them dancing the pulga cumbia style on FB pages.
Casas in his Alejandro Casas El Divo 956 Original Facebook (FB) page, says that he felt discriminated by personnel, security and one of the flea market owners and is now seeking legal advice to determine, whether he will file a discriminatory civil lawsuit against the Alamo Flea Market for discriminating against him, since he claims that he didn't do anything wrong (illegal). https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTL86yoMt/
Casas who enjoys to entertain the public at different venues as his own stage personality El Divo 956 has a large following of fans who go see him dance at the Pulga del Alamo and at other flea market events.
A new cumbia song by Mister Cumbia was written about Casas too and was recently released in social media!
