Stuck in the Middle: A History of Lesbians in St. Louis
Start Date
9-4-2024 12:00 AM
Description
Queer history in the Midwest has often been examined at a national level. Those that choose to dive deeper will pick a coast city, New York or San Francisco, and examine the history of gay rights and Gay Liberation within the confines of a city already famous for its outspoken queer rights movements. Scholars have neglected to examine the presence of LGBT history within the confines of the Midwest. In my paper and research project, I examined the feminist queer history of St. Louis, and analyzed the trajectory and unification (or lack thereof) of the gay rights movement in St. Louis.
