"That's one of the things that I find most fascinating about it - it was obviously a large-scale event - but it was almost forgotten. Like, why do you remember Stonewall, but you don't remember Compton's?" said historian and filmmaker Susan Stryker. "It was made up of a lot of people who were shunned by mainstream middle-class society, and that included queer kids who were thrown out of their homes. It included hair fairies and under other gender non-normative people, but it also included straight identified queer youth who were surviving on the streets and engaging in sex work," said Plaster.
Hoping to cut down on the rampant vice in the Tenderloin, city leaders ordered a crackdown on the illicit activities in the area. Sometime in the weeks after those protests outside Compton's Cafeteria, a riot erupted inside the restaurant.
