LGBTQ groups across the US are considering a new flag that's meant to be more inclusive of the transgender community and people of color
Fifty-five years ago this month, a group of transgender women in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco fought back against police as they arrested patrons at Compton's Cafeteria, a go-to hangout for temporarily avoiding the harshest harassment, discrimination and physical violence they faced on the streets. While the ultimate reason for their arrests is unknown, police frequently arrested those who dressed in clothing"opposite" to their sex, which was a crime at the time.
This historic act of transgender resistance to the police, which happened three years before the Stonewall riots in 1969, was almost lost to history until Susan Stryker, an academic focused on LGBTQ issues, found a mention of the event in historical archives related to New York City's 1972 Pride March memorializing Stonewall.

U.S. charges man who made bomb threat near U.S. CapitolWASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States on Friday charged Floyd Ray Roseberry of North Carolina with making threats or attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting the use of an explosive device, after Roseberry parked his truck near the U.S. Capitol on Thursday and claimed to have a bomb, leading to a five-hour standoff with law enforcement, a federal judge said. U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui also ordered that Roseberry undergo a mental competency evaluation, after Roseberry told him he could not understand the proceedings against him because he had not been able to take his medications for blood pressure or for his 'mind.' 'My memory isn't that well, sir,' Roseberry said, adding that his wife has power of attorney over his medical issues and he did not know the names of his medications.
