Tay-Bush Inn raid

The Tay-Bush Inn raid was a police raid on an all-night, one-room café in San Francisco, California, around 3 a.m. on September 14, 1961. There 103 LGBT patrons were arrested. It is considered a pivotal event in the history of LGBT rights in San Francisco. It was the largest raid on a gay bar in this city, and received the most press coverage. The arrested were described in the press as mostly white and middle class men.
The Tay-Bush Inn raid was followed by the 1965 New Years Ball at California Hall, which also ended in a police raid and subsequent lawsuit for gay rights. The site of the Tay-Bush Inn is now called the La Galleria Condominiums, a 14 story building that contains 152 units.
