"Recent historical work reveals that Stonewall was not a singular moment of queer insurgency and that the mid-to-late 1960s was an era of queer radical political potential. According to Susan Stryker, professor of women's studies at Vancouver's Simon Fraser University, the 1966 police raid at San Francisco's Compton's Cafeteria, in the Tenderloin district, helped launch a national movement for transgender rights."
