Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot;....Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. Luke 17:28,30
"With the support of San Francisco’s leaders, transgender activists have enacted the world’s first “Transgender Cultural District” in the Tenderloin area of the city to “create a safe, welcoming and empowering neighborhood lead by trans people for trans people” and to “preserve the places where transgender history took place for future generations.”
Reports claim that Jane Kim, who is an active member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and represents the district that includes the Tenderloin, proposed legislation last year that would enable and assert the creation of “Compton’s Transgender Cultural District.”
“The lower Tenderloin is the most important neighborhood in America for transgender history, culture, and civil rights,” Kim said in a statement. “By creating the Compton’s TLGB District we are honoring this vibrant community built by transgender people, and are sending a message to the world that trans people are welcome here.”
The area stretches across six blocks in the southeastern Tenderloin as well as two blocks of 6th Street, includes the site of the now former Gene Compton’s Cafeteria, a dining establishment that would frequently make phone calls to the police in the 1960’s since it had the idea that the lingering of men dressed as women would have a negative impact on business, and worked to drive them to leave."
