MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in LGBTQ History August 1966: The Compton’s Cafeteria riot occurred in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, in response to the constant violent police harassment of drag queens and trans women in the area. Many were sex workers, out of necessity, due to transmissic job discrimination against them in other lines of work. Compton’s was one of the few places were trans women could socialize publicly, as they were often unwelcome at gay bars, also due to transphobia. In those days, you could get arrested simply for wearing clothes of the “wrong” sex, including even just having the buttons on the “wrong” side of your shirt. Many of those involved in the riot were members of Vanguard, one of the first known gay youth organizations in the U.S. Because they refused to buy anything, management would routinely kick Vanguard members out and call the police on them, leading to a picket of Compton’s July 19, 1966, one of the first demonstrations against transphobic police harassment. One night in August, a Compton’s employee called the police on an “unruly” transwoman, who threw coffee in his face when he tried to arrest her. The cafeteria erupted, with people throwing tables, dining ware and other items at the cops and smashing windows. They hit the cops with their purses and shoes. The cops fled and called for backup. The next day, larger crowds showed up to picket Compton’s again.</p><p>August is officially Transgender History Month, in commemoration of the Compton’s Cafeteria Riot, which was first recognized by San Francisco, in 2021, and by the California state legislature in 2024.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/compton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>compton</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/riot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>riot</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lgbtq</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/transrightsarehumanrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transrightsarehumanrights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/homophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homophobia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transphobia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/police" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>police</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sanfrancisco" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sanfrancisco</span></a></p>
