LGBTQIA+ communities have been contributing to St. Louis’s history for centuries. Now the Gateway to Pride virtual exhibit will begin to uncover the rarely-shared or often untold stories of St. Louis’s LGBTQIA+ communities.

Visitors to the Gateway to Pride virtual exhibit will get a taste of St. Louis’s fascinating LGBTQIA+ history. The interactive digital experience showcases oral history interviews, artifacts with in-depth stories, and multiple opportunities for online visitors to share their own experiences.

This virtual exhibit is a milestone step in the Missouri Historical Society’s larger Gateway to Pride Initiative. It serves as a call to action for visitors to share their stories and contribute to our growing knowledge of this often hidden history.
