Best gay bars in st louis

There was some grumbling in conservative Jefferson County when the DeSoto Christmas Celebration was slated to include the county’s drag bar, Rumors on Ice. Among the garden-variety homophobic comments posted to the event’s Facebook page, one stuck with me: “Go back to the Central West End.”

The remark amused me on a couple of levels. One: the dated plan of the Core West End entity synonymous with “gay” — a principle that hit its peak in the seventies and eighties.

While residing in concentrated LGBTQ neighborhoods was once a necessity for those wanting to live openly, these days it’s more of a preference, one factor to be weighed alongside other area amenities.

action is, or both.
