Compton's Cafeteria Riots 40th Anniversary
Commemoration Kick-Off

A screening of the recent documentary "Screaming Queens'" by
filmmakers Susan Stryker and Victor Silverman chronicles this
historic time marking one of the beginnings of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual
and Transgender (LGBT) movement resistance.

Three years before the famous rioting at New York's Stonewall Inn, a
group of transgender women and gay street hustlers fought back for
the first time in history against everyday police harassment. This
was known as the 1966 Riot at Gene Compton's Cafeteria in the
Tenderloin at Turk and Taylor in San Francisco.

There will be a wine and hors d'oeuvres reception and silent auction
at Good Vibrations 1620 Polk Street (at Sacramento) from 5:00- 6:30
pm as a pre-screen get together for the "Screaming Queens" documentary.
