About this Event
The Black Cat has a rich LGBTQ history. It opened in October 1966 as a bar for gay men, at a time when homosexuality was medically classified as a mental illness. On New Years Eve, 1967, the LAPD staged an undercover police sting that resulted in brutal attacks and arrests of 14 partygoers. This led to one of the first pro-LGBTQ demonstrations, predating Stonewall by two full years.
In 2007 The Black Cat was recognized by The Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Comission as Historic-Cultural Monument #939. In 2022, the State of California designated The Black Cat as Historical Landmark #1063, the first and only California historical landmark to recognize California's LGBTQ history.
We pride ourselves on creating a safe space for all members of our community to come together. First, we encourage you to VOTE. Then, we hope you'll join us on election night as we watch the results unfold live on TV.
