LGBTQ exhibit that was removed from Missouri Capitol opens in St. Louis
JEFFERSON CITY — An LGBTQ history exhibit that was removed from the Missouri Capitol this year after drawing complaints has opened in St. Louis.
The “Making History: Kansas City and the Rise of Gay Rights” exhibit — which describes the city’s “surprisingly pivotal role in helping to launch America’s gay rights movement,” according to the exhibit’s website — was removed from the state Capitol in September after several complaints, including from a GOP official who worked in the Capitol.
