Tenderloin LGBTQ+ Tour

The Tenderloin District is one of the most incredible, historic, and unfortunately misunderstood neighborhoods in San Francisco.

Did you know that once upon a time this used to be the fancy theater and entertainment district?!

During our time together, we'll learn about how this neighborhood transitioned into a haven for marginalized folks and became the birthplace of radical change- particularly for the LGB(T)Q+ community.

I will also take you to visit the locations of : particularly where San Francisco's Stonewall (1/1/) and the Compton's Cafeteria Riot (8/26/1966) took place.

Today, the Tenderloin houses iconic institutions such as Glide Memorial Church, the Tenderloin National Forest, and the world's first and only Transgender Cultural District.

Testimonials for California Queer Adventures:

This experience lets you learn and understand the struggles the LGBTQ+ community faced for so long and continue to face to this day, but how there was those who made a big enough difference that the right to their/our communities started to change for the better and let them live how they wanted to, let them love who they wanted to, and how much time it took to get this/that far. It was explained beautifully by Eric…10/10, amazing job.

Such a gift to take this tour during Pride Month! Eric brings a wealth of in-depth historical and ethnographic research, first-hand personal experiences, and storytelling that sticks with you. What happened paved the way for gay rights across the country, and continues to protect communities today.
