She passed by the Golden Gate Theatre where A Bronx Tale was playing and came to site of the former all-night diner, Gene’s Compton Cafeteria (now transitional housing), where in August 1966 a trans woman threw a cup of coffee at a police officer trying to arrest her, which turned into a riot with trans people fighting back against police harassment, flipping over tables and throwing cutlery.

Oh, I see. A riot occurs on behalf of a mentally ill man who threw coffee at a cop (with zero provided context), but they're the ones being harassed. Got it.

San Francisco Creates World’s First Ever Transgender Cultural District

"The area Mahogany was walking through makes up part of the first legally recognized transgender district in the world, Compton's Transgender Cultural District."

'In November, San Francisco passed a proposition for a percentage of an existing hotel tax to go to arts, with $3 million specifically for cultural districts. ', "Mahogany, a performer and contestant on Season 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, is Compton's district manager."

'Honey Mahogany walked down 6th Street in San Francisco, pointing to single room occupancy hotels, the dance and performance space Counterpulse, and gay bars, OMG and Aunt Charlie’s Lounge. '

'Unlike Mahogany, Sa’id didn’t grow up in San Francisco. '
