In 1966 at Compton’s Cafeteria, gender-expansive people responded to the hostility they were subjected to, simply because they existed, with an act of resistance.

Compton’s Table is a 501(c)3 nonprofit located in Erie, Pennsylvania. We specialize in curating safe spaces for queer and gender nonconforming people.

Mission:
Compton’s Table works to create a thriving queer community in Northwestern Pennsylvania where queer individuals are seen, valued, and affirmed.

Our Vision:
At Compton's Table, we imagine a region where queer folx are welcomed to show up as their whole selves.
