Uptown Tenderloin
— Lost Landmarks —
One August evening in 1966, transgender women and gay men banded together to fight back against oppression after a police officer harassed one of them at Gene Compton's Cafeteria. This confrontation was the first known full-scale riot for Transgender and Gay rights in the U.S. history. It galvanized the community, prompting new public policies and social services that improved the lives of local transgender people.| HM Number | HM1Q7V |
