Three years before Stonewall, in August 1966, a riot broke out at Compton’s Cafeteria in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco. In the 1960s, police regularly harassed drag queens and transgender women for "female impersonation."

This was the first known instance of collective militant resistance by transgender individuals in US history.
