Gay Guide to Topeka
Topeka, the capital of Kansas, has a small gay scene with a few downtown venues and some notable landmarks. The Skivies Bar is a popular LGBTQ+ spot, with Wo's adding a gay-friendly bar and restaurant. The city is home to the Equality House, the rainbow-painted home sitting directly across from the Westboro Baptist Church, and a Rainbow Walk in the NOTO Arts District. The Topeka Pride Festival brings a parade, music, and community booths each year. The scene is modest, but the city's role in LGBTQ+ activism gives it a visibility beyond its size. Most spots sit in or near downtown.
