Detroit Comes Out

A Walking Tour Celebrating Detroit's Gay History.

Join City Tour Detroit on this fascinating three-hour walking tour through the heart of Detroit’s LGBTQ+ history led by local historian Michael Boettcher and uncover the hidden stories and forgotten landmarks that played a pivotal role in the fight for equality and acceptance.
