St. Louis is proud to be selected as one of the entries in the book, 50 Fabulous Gay-Friendly Places to Live. Author Gregory A. Kompes conducted extensive research into 400 American cities for the project. The conclusion: St. Louis was named one of America’s gay-friendliest places to live. Can’t move to The Lou? Too, bad. But, you can come to visit.
St. Louisians know how to have a good time and want to share the best of their hometown with all visitors. To quote St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay, one element central to this community is "our willingness to celebrate our diversity."
