Half Queer History, Half Stories of Good ol' Gay Smut! Creep the French Quarter streets where Marlon Brando raged, lesbians had turf wars, and New Orleans gays contributed to the revolution. This is History & Happy Hour! Grab a vodka soda while we walk through the devastating and the enlivening history of queer goblins in the French Quarter. We make bar stops. And let off in in the center of New Orlean's gay nightlife. A perfect way to start an evening out in NOLA! ... Because homoerotic vampires are culture, honey! ---------------------------------- "Walking With The Gay Ghosts of New Orleans" has been profiled in multiuple travel publications. One journalist had this to say... "I expected it to be funny, campy, and crass, with some horny hearsay sprinkled in here and there. It’s all of those things—but it’s also heartwarming and illuminating, leaving us with a newfound adoration for a city we all love for different reasons."

Tickets are $33.46 Incl. sales tax
