St. Louis Gay Urban area Guide: What to Know if You’re Headed to the Gateway City

St. Louis is a capital known for many things. It’s the home of the St. Louis Cardinals, Budweiser Brewing Company, the famous Gateway Arch, and gooey butter cake, among other things. It’s also a urban area becoming increasingly well-known for its warm, welcoming, and continually growing LGBTQ community that adds so much to the character and personality of the metropolis itself.

Remarks by Steven Louis Brawley at the June 7 opening event for the Gateway to Pride exhibiiton at the Missouri History Museum:

When I began my journey with the creation of the History Project in , I knew there was a void.

But - I had no thought how big the void was.
How much of our history was:
• Hidden
• Lost
• Ignored
• Filtered
• And thrown away, yes thrown away!

Tonight, I stand before you and humbly utter those days are over! History once lost - is NOW found! We ARE St. Louis!

Still under attack.
Still fighting back.
But we are seen and not silenced.

In a few moments this audience will earn a first view at a first in Missouri history – the first ever full-scale exhibition documenting and celebrating our LGBTQIA+ ancestors and community.

What a moment. A moment to take a deep breath and really appreciate this groundbreaking experience.

What a journey it has been with many of you here tonight. Chosen family. Yes family.

Since I have fearlessly championed the need for the preservation and promotion of our LGBTQIA+ legacy.

So many of you include joined me in this ha
