In this episode of our series, This Month in Queer History, host Wes discusses the riot at Compton's Cafeteria in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco in late summer, 1966, as well as the protests leading up to it and how it reflects the unrest rumbling in urban queer communities that would lead to other riots like the Stonewall Riots.
