Compton's Cafeteria (Historical)

Tenderloin, San Francisco

Activists working to make it a public LGBTQ space
Corner of Taylor and Turk Streets

Stand on the corner where transgender women and drag queens rioted against police in 1966, three years before Stonewall. This Tenderloin landmark honors a pivotal moment when queer folks fought back and changed history.
