You Can Still Celebrate Pride This Month!
Educate Make a goal to learn something new this month about St. Louis’ LGTBQ history. Check out the Missouri History Museum’s Gateway to Pride virtual exhibit, which launched earlier this year. The exhibit was originally planned to launch in person at the museum, and while that wasn’t possible, several in-person events are still planned to complement the programming. Visit MOHistory.org/exhibits/gateway- to-pride to see the virtual exhibit and learn about in-person events this summer. You can support a queer-owned business and educate yourself this month by picking up a read at Left Bank Books, the oldest independent bookstore in St. Louis. Donate We have many great local organizations dedicated to helping those in the LGTBQ community. PROMO is a nonprofit organization fighting for equal representation for all. Their website also includes an awesome list of community organizations that could use your support to continue their work in the community. Visit PromoOnline.org/services to see the full list. The staff here at Finney Injury Law are proud to live and work in such a beautifully diverse city. Even without the fabulous parades and fun social events, we can all do our part to show our pride this month.
JUNE IS PRIDE MONTH Fun, Safe Ways to Celebrate
June is Pride Month! St. Louis is usually packed with local events, festivals, and parades to celebrate the local LGTBQ community. Though PrideFest — the biggest event in the city — has been canceled for a second year due to COVID-19 restrictions, organizers say it will be back and better than ever in 2022.
If you want to show your LGTBQ support this month in STL, here are some safe ways to do so:
Support Small businesses have had a tough year! Show a little extra love to your favorite local queer-owned businesses this month. Grab a coffee or treat at MoKaBe’s Coffeehouse or treat yourself to small-batch frozen yogurt from Bella’s Frozen Yogurt. (Bonus: Both places offer plenty of vegan or dairy-free options, so everyone in the family can find something to indulge in.)
You can also leave a review online for your favorite shops. This is a free, easy, and high-impact way to give businesses a boost.
