Out In STL

Out In STL Out In STL is the q***r magazine for all of St. Louis. Deadlines vary; please inquire. And we welcome excerpts from forthcoming or recently published books.

We cover the news, politics, people, and trends in everything from fashion to dining to landscaping that matter to STL's LGBTQ+ communities and allies. Out in STL is the news, politics and lifestyle magazine designed for LGBTQ and LGBTQ-curious readers who are enjoying a new era of acceptance, social mobility and economic growth. Our readers are pursuing a career or higher education, partnered up

or actively looking, busy building a full life of friendship, (alternative and traditional) family and social engagement. Our readers are interested in personal and financial growth, travel, living a fulfilling life, and are actively engaged in social issues, including but not limited to LGBTQ political and cultural issues. In addition to our website and social media, we publish four print issues each year:

Winter (December, January, February)
Spring (March, April, May)
Summer (June, July, August)
Fall (September, October, November)

Publication dates: 3rd week of the preceding month. We encourage freelance contributions in most areas of the website and magazine, and in a variety of formats, from 300-word news capsules and short commentaries to 5,000-word feature articles. Payment is based on length, content and the extent of original reporting and research involved. We are interested in original stories, essays and commentary only – no reprints, with two exceptions: We will consider pieces that you would like to adapt or rewrite substantively for OiSTL.

The Right has been trying to convince the LGB to drop the T, arguing they'll accept the former if we dispense with the latter. 98% of us told them to kick rocks, but to the 2% who went along with it, get used to hearing, "We told you so." You are a special kind of ignorant, thinking that men who would force their own wives and daughters to carry a dead baby to term to "own the libs" would, for some unfathomable reason, protect your precious same-sex marriages. You spat in the faces of your own community to gleefully kiss the boots, and now all sides are done with you.

“As the loudest and proudest transphobe in Congress, Nancy Mace will never stop pointing out the fact that there are only TWO genders,” her campaign spokesperson told The Advocate.

Cami Thomas brings her whole self to her artwork, always. She’s a Black q***r St. Louisan and her work lives in that intersection. Her latest film, Keenelan, reflects all this and is also a universal story — a meditation on love in all its messy glory, in which anyone can see themselves reflected.

Fate, whisky, and the weight of time. Albion Theatre’s “I Been Here Before” finds the human pulse inside Priestley’s metaphysical puzzle — and I found plenty to admire.

More from Alton's biggest booster, Charles Mooneyham.

In one of my last pieces, “Art in the Age of Disillusionment,” I mentioned “The Exodus from the Machine,” a phrase echoing the idea of The Great Unplugged. It’s a cultural undercurrent pulling Gen X away from the digital noise and back into the arts. And it’s not just them. Young Millenn...
