On this day in queer history: Aug 1966
Trans women & drag queens rioted at Compton’s Cafeteria in SF’s Tenderloin, fighting police harassment. 3 years before Stonewall, the modern trans rights movement was already burning.

SF’s own Stonewall happened at Compton’s Coalition in 1966. Now the Compton’s Coalition wants the city to stop hosting a Geo Group jail at 111 Taylor in the Tenderloin, the site where the uprising took place. #queerhistory #comptonscafeteriariot #stonewallriots #sfqueerhistory

I’m part of a big new interactive theater piece opening this April in SF. It’s about the first documented LGBTQI uprising in America & no it’s not Stonewall. I can’t say too much about it yet but it feels momentous. Super excited!
