From protests and arrests to celebrations and parades, St. Louis' LGBT community has undergone many an experience since our city's founding. Now, author Steven Louis Brawley has captured this part of our history in Images of America: Gay and Lesbian St. Louis. Activists, leather men, drag queens, academics, business leaders, artists, you'll see it all in this book -- and you can get a sneak peak right here.
