A thrown coffee cup. A broken window. A police raid that didn’t go as planned.
Years before Stonewall, a group of drag queens and trans women of color fought back in a seedy cafeteria in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District. What started as routine harassment became a full-scale riot—and a flashpoint for LGBTQ+ resistance. In this episode, we travel back to 1966 to explore the lead-up, chaos, and long-overdue legacy of the Compton’s Cafeteria Riot.
This LGBTQ+ true crime podcast episode uncovers one of the earliest organized queer uprisings in American history and reclaims the stories of the trans and drag trailblazers history tried to forget.
Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light—all with a cold one in hand.
Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history.
