The Cooper Do-nuts Riot was a May 1959 incident in Los Angeles in which transgender women, lesbian women, drag queens, and gay men rioted, one of the first LGBT uprisings in the United States.[1] The incident was sparked by police harassment of LGBT people at a 24-hour cafe called "Cooper Do-nuts". IncidentThe cafe was located on Main Street in the Skid Row neighborhood of downtown Los Angeles[2] between two gay bars, Harold’s and the Waldorf, and was a popular hangout for transgender people.[3][4][5] There had been many LGBT customers at Cooper's taken into custody before, and on the day of the riot, two police officers entered the cafe and asked patrons for ID as LA law dictated at the time that if a person's gender presentation did not match the gender shown on their ID they were taken to jail.[6] The officers attempted to arrest two drag queens, two male sex workers, and a gay man.[7] One of those arrested was novelist John Rechy, who wrote of the event in his novel City of Night. In his novel, Rechy describes the victims of the Los Angeles Police Department’s abuse on this night as a culmination of routine targeting of the LGBTQ community.[8] After the detainees protested the lack of room in the police car, onlookers began throwing coffee, cups, and trash at the police until they fled without them in their car.[2] People then took to rioting in the streets and police backup arrived blocking off the street for the entire night and arresting several people.[1][9] The incident is said to have helped launch the gay rights movement.[10] Mark Thompson, a historian who lived in the same area as Rechy, wrote, “I would not describe it as a riot but more like an isolated patch of local social unrest that had lasting repercussions. I think less in its day, more as a lesson for us today.”[10] References1. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Moffitt|first1=Evan|title=10 Years Before Stonewall, There Was the Cooper's Donuts Riot|url=https://www.out.com/today-gay-history/2015/5/31/today-gay-history-10-years-stonewall-there-was-coopers-donuts-riot|accessdate=30 June 2017|work=Out Magazine|agency=Here Media Inc.|date=31 May 2015}} 2. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Lilly|first1=Christiana|title=Los Angeles’ Cooper Donuts gay riots sparked a revolution 10 years before Stonewall|url=https://thepridela.com/2016/09/los-angeles-cooper-donuts-gay-riots-sparked-revolution-10-years-stonewall/|accessdate=30 June 2017|work=The Pride LA|date=30 September 2016}} 3. ^{{cite book|last1=Faderman|first1=Lillian|last2=Timmons|first2=Stuart|title=Gay L.
