Welcome to our first of two annual Pride Month episodes. Everyone knows about Stonewall which was a watershed moment in both the gay rights movement and civil rights more broadly. And if you don’t, you should!
Since the Stonewall Inn protest is well-trod ground, we will be discussing two protests that came before it: The Annual Reminder in Philadelphia and the Compton’s Cafeteria riot in San Francisco.
Each protest is unique. The Annual Reminder was a carefully planned series of pickets that helped lead to the first Pride parade commemorating Stonewall while Compton’s Cafeteria Riot was a spontaneous, violent event that saw extremely marginalized trans women forced to defend themselves from police harassment.
Both moments in time serve as reminders today that there is no “right way” to protest and social change is possible even if the process is difficult. 56 hours
