The mural commemorates “Gene Compton’s Cafeteria Riot in August 1966, when transgender and gender-nonconforming patrons fought back against years of police harassment. The event is considered among the first significant LGBTQ uprisings, predating New York’s better-known Stonewall Riots in 1969.” https://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/arts-exhibits/article/sf-comptons-cafeteria-riot-mural-22300170.php #Pride
