Remember The Black Cat Cafe: Honoring California’s First Legally-Recognized Gay Bar & HQ to Jose Sarria, First Openly-Gay Candidate for Office

  • 5 Columbus Avenue San Francisco, California, 94111 United States (map)

Celebrate the storied Black Cat Cafe which was home to the emerging gay scene in San Francisco and fought prejudicial rulings against it until its closure Halloween night 1963. We'll start by making bouquets of flowers at 5 Columbus Ave, then head across the street, hear stories of the bar's infamous drag scene, and lay flowers at this historic site.
