Three years before Stonewall, trans women, drag queens and sex workers fought back against police harassment at Compton's Cafeteria in San Francisco's Tenderloin. Management had taken to hiring security and calling police to clear out the trans clientele it saw as bad for business; when officers tried to make an arrest one August night, the patrons fought back, a police car got wrecked, and a newsstand went up in flames. It's now considered one of the first LGBTQ uprisings in US history — and the Tenderloin itself carries that legacy forward as the Transgender District, the first legally recognised transgender district anywhere in the world.
