Riots & Refuge: Queering the Table on the 50th Anniversary of Stonewall
b'Happy Pride! In today\\u2019s episode, we honor the trailblazers and celebrate the community builders by exploring the role food has played in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.\\n\\nNico Wisler, host of our newest show Queer The Table brings us a story about the Compton\\u2019s Cafeteria riot, an uprising that preceded the Stonewall Riots by a few years and marked the beginning of transgender activism in San Francisco. Colette LeGrande, who today stars in drag shows at Aunt Charlie\\u2019s Lounge, was a regular patron of Compton\\u2019s Cafeteria in the Sixties. She sat with Nico in her dressing room to share memories of the restaurant where the LGBTQ+ community could find warmth, safety, and a cup of coffee after spending the night on the street. Hear more of the story in the first episode of Queer the Table \\u2013 coming soon to HRN!\\n\\nOur other stories this week take a look at the legacy of LGBTQ+-related riots of the 1960s. Aleah Papes introduces us to Queer Soup Night, a Brooklyn-born queer party with soup at its center and a commitment to resistance. Pauline Munch takes us all the way to Toronto for a very special drag brunch at the Glad Day Bookshop, \\u201cthe world\\u2019s oldest LGBTQ bookstore.\\u201d\\n\\nThis program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.\\n\\nPhotos courtesy Anthony Oliveira, Glad Day Bookshop'
