In this episode of Kiff and Ang Podcast we discuss the little known Compton's Cafeteria Riot. Pre-dating Stonewall, the Compton's Cafeteria Riot that happened in the summer of 1966 at 101 Turk St. in San Francisco was a pivotal moment in the unification of the LGBT community at the time. From this moment in San Francisco history comes more organization and more communication in the LGBT community, as well as change.

This week we discuss Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, The Compton's Cafeteria, and Barney Frank.

This episode reached back to 2015 for some LGBTQ history. In 1966, a restaurant in San Francisco's Tenderloin district was the site of a violent incident in LGBT history. After the riot, a grassroots effort grew to improve relationships between police and Tenderloin's transgender community.

Tune in to hear the stories of three pre-stonewall era uprisings that took place in late night restaurants that served as safe spaces for queer folks- the Compton's Cafeteria Riot, The Dewey's Cafeteria Sit-In, and the Cooper's Donuts Riot.

Graying Rainbows Episode 12 is an interview with respected LGBT+ historian Dr. Susan Stryker. Her book "Transgender History" is very highly regarded and brings a valuable perspective to an aspect of LGBT+ history that has been largely invisible. Although she focuses on what happened in the United States after WW2, Stryker also reflects on how Transgender people have been treated by both Feminists and the larger LGBT+ community. The story is eye-opening and full of lessons for us all.

Our guest tonight is Brad Dunshee, creator of the Mattachine Project.  In his words: “Well into my 30s, I heard about the Compton's Cafeteria riot, in the heart of San Francisco, which entailed an LGBTQ-uprising against an abusive police force--this event, stunningly, happened a full three years before the much-more-known Stonewall uprising. I was floored. Why hadn't I known about this? Was it common knowledge that I had just somehow missed? As I've always worked in media, I made the decision to develop a platform showcasing a weekly podcast, detailing these stories. My hope and main mission with this platform is to get our stories out there--it's important to understand our community's triumphs, our challenges, and what we've been through. “ Tonight we talk to Brad with panel Brody Levesque and Dawn Ennis.  We talk about the project, and we talk about history we all need to know.
