Alexei Romanoff & David Farah: Before Stonewall, There Were The Black Cat Protests | AfterBuzz TV’s LGBTQ&A with Jeffrey Masters

Alexei Romanoff and David Farah talk about the Black Cat protests that happened in 1967 (two years before Stonewall). Alexei Romanoff helped to organize and lead it, and is the last known person still alive who was there. They discuss the police raid that kicked the protest off, what the acronym PRIDE originally stood for, and the founding of The Advocate. Alexei and David also talk about how transgender history is intimately tied up with gay, lesbian, and bisexual history, and how the uprising at Cooper’s Donuts in Los Angeles in 1959 started with trans women.
