SOMA San Francisco, CA

1966 pt 2 with Honey Mahogany and Susan Stryker

June 29, 2020  /  Stud SF

It was hot. It was hot in summer in San Francisco in 1966. In 1966 there were riots. 3 years before the Stonewall Riots, in San Francsico’s Tenderloin neighborhood queers, queens and sex workers clashed with the police at Compton’s Cafeteria.

Today the first Transgender Cultural District surrounds the historic site of the riots. In part two of our Queer Liberation episode Stud co-owner and Transgender Cultural District cofounder Honey Mahogany is joined by historian and filmmaker Susan Stryker.
