The Compton Cafeteria Riots! The riot that happened before Stonewall... Join our Patreon Community ➡️https://www.patreon.com/ClosetedHistory Today, we uncover a hidden gem of LGBTQ+ history as we explore The Compton Cafeteria Riots. This lesser-known uprising took place in San Francisco's Tenderloin district, three years before the famous Stonewall Riots. This episode retells the stories of courage and resistance that led the trans and queer community to rise up against discrimination and police brutality. Learn how the Compton Cafeteria Riots played a vital role in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights and inspired those who were present at the infamous Stonewall Inn Riots, three years later. If you are interested in learning more after this episode, I recommend that you watch "Screaming Queens: The Riots at Compton Cafeteria". It is available for free here on YouTube.

In this episode, we explore Frida Kahlo's intricate life and enduring legacy through the biopic Frida (2002). We discuss how this film challenges stereotypes, highlighting Kahlo's artistic brilliance and complex identity as a queer Mexican woman. We examine how the film navigated controversies, including issues with Harvey Weinstein, to authentically portray Kahlo's life, artistry, politics, and personal journey.
