Happy Southern Decadence, y’all! 🌈
My friend Orion took me on a little Gay History tour in the French Quarter from Joanie on the Pony, to the Golden Lantern, to Lafitte’s in Exile, and I learned SO much. And this is just scratching the surface!
New Orleans has a long, fascinating LGBTQ+ history, and there’s no better weekend to celebrate it. If you want to learn even more, stop by the LGBT+ Archives Project of Louisiana’s Q***r History Exhibit at 311 Burgundy Street.
Happy Southern Decadence! 🏳️🌈⚜️ And thank you, Orion, for teaching me a little more about the city I love so much! Check him out Orion Couling to learn more! https://www.orioncoulingnola.com
