Episode 175 | Drag Queen Run Waffle House
from Unhinged History · host twigliot
You are not prepared for this week’s mashup. Theresa tells us the story of the Compton Cafeteria Riot, that nearly forgotten time in San Francisco when a group of queens stood up against police discrimination. While this occurred three years before Stonewall, it isn’t well-known or credited with kicking off Pride Month. However, it was this event, and events like it, that paved the way for the tipping point for the Stonewall Uprising. Not wanting to be outdone, Angie shares the unhinged life of the eye-patch wearing princess, Ana De Mendoza. Come for the drama she faces in the Spanish court. Stay for the moment, she moves into a convent and parties so hard she chases out the nuns who live there. This story pairs well with: WWII GI Who Becomes a Woman: Christine Jorgeson Stonewall Uprising Alice Roosevelt Join Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/UnhingedHistory Email us: [email protected] Head to Social Media and be Social With Us: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@unhinged.history Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unhinged.historypod YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@unhingedhistory Don’t forget to rate, review, and subscribe.
