Castro District LGBTQ+ Historic Tour

The Castro District in San Francisco is known for its rich LGBTQ+ history and vibrant culture.

It was where Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official in North America, lived and owned a camera shop.

It is also home to many national landmarks, like one of the last historic movie palaces from the 1920's, The Castro Theater, and the original rainbow flag inside of the GLBT Historical Museum.

The Castro might be small, but it really packs a punch!

Some other places we'll visit during our time together include the Pink Triangle Memorial, the first public monument honoring the approximately 15,000 gay and lesbian individuals killed during the fascist Nazi regime during 1933-1945, Twin Peaks Tavern, one of the first bars on the strip that helped solidify the Castro's place as a gay mecca, and Queer Arts Featured, an art gallery inside of Harvey's former shop and campaign headquarters.

What role did the US military play in forming America's first gayborhood, why did they switch GLBT to LGBT, and what do the different colors of the rainbow flag represent?

Find out the answers to these questions and much, MUCH more on my Castro District Historic Walking Tour!

You won't want to miss this one of a kind experience in the first gayhorhood in the United States!
