## Resource

Step into the heart of New Orleans’ queer past at the newly reopened Queer History Exhibit in the French Quarter — a bold, vibrant counterpoint to political efforts to erase LGBTQ+ history. Featuring 14 powerful placards that trace everything from the tragic UpStairs Lounge fire to the wild beginnings of Southern Decadence, this exhibit is both a memorial and a celebration. It’s part of a larger mission to educate, empower, and make queer stories visible — especially now, when silence is being weaponized. Complementing the exhibit are free walking tours through historic queer landmarks, including Tennessee Williams’ former home and the site of the UpStairs Lounge. Open daily except Wednesdays, with tours on weekends, and welcoming all with a suggested $20 donation — no one turned away. This isn’t just history. It’s resistance.
