St. Louis, Missouri
The Grove's 66-seat Jade Room cabaret with drag shows nightly and Sunday drag brunch
Prism is a cocktail lounge and drag bar in The Grove, the stretch of Manchester Avenue that anchors St. Louis's LGBTQ+ nightlife. It opened in early 2022 in the space that previously housed The Monocle, and the owners kept the room's existing cabaret stage rather than building from scratch. That performance space is the Jade Room, where the drag runs; a separate lounge holds the bar. One of the co-owners is Michael Klataske, who performs as Jade Sinclair and has worked St. Louis drag stages for roughly 25 years. The layout tells you what to expect: a seated cabaret room built for the show, a full bar with signature cocktails, beer, wine, and locally made pizza, plus an outdoor patio for the nights when The Grove crowd spills outside. It reads more as a room you sit down in for a performance than a stand-and-drink club, which sets it apart from the dance-forward bars nearby. For a traveler working through The Grove, it's the address to note when you want the drag itself to be the evening rather than a side act, and the patio makes it an easy first or last stop on a bar walk down Manchester. Programming leans on drag nearly every night, and the standing anchor is the Sunday drag brunch, Pink Eggs and Glam: a catered buffet in the lounge with the show in the Jade Room. Brunch tickets are worth booking ahead, since seats are reserved and popular dates fill.

We verified 32 LGBTQ+ campgrounds in the US, from 700-acre men's retreats in the Ozarks to a women-only resort in Michigan's Thumb. This guide covers every one we could verify from the campground's own website: who's welcome, what clothing optional means there, what you can sleep in, what it costs and when the season runs.

The Village People were created by a gay producer as a set of gay fantasy characters and launched to gay disco audiences, but the members themselves differ. Here is what each has said on the record, and the two readings of YMCA.
