Gene Compton's Cafeteria Riot 1966. Here marks the site of Gene Compton's Cafeteria where a riot took place one August night when transgender women and gay men stood up for their rights and fought against police brutality, poverty, oppression and discrimination in the tenderloin: we, the transgender, gay, lesbian and bisexual community, are dedicating this plaque to these heroes of our civil rights movement
