"Today is International Transgender Awareness Day. It's held on August 15 every year to commemorate an event in 1966, at Gene Compton's Cafeteria in San Francisco, a popular hangout in the Tenderloin for members of the transgender community. After police raided the cafeteria and attempted to make several arrests, Compton's regulars and allies protested and rioted, leading to greater recognition of transgender rights and the transgender community in general."
