Want to learn more about the city’s LGBTQ history while seeing some of the sights? Beyond the Landmarks’ Beyond the Closet: The Persecution and Liberation of the LGBTQ Community in Washington, D.C., tour could be just the choice.
Zach Patalingjug launched the company in June, and offers walks that highlights some of Washington’s LGBTQ history. The LGBTQ-specific tour starts with him emailing each person on the route with a meet-up location and some advice for the tour itself.
His business last month saw a lot of tourists participate in his tour — in part because of Pride Month, and Patalinjug is hoping to keep the momentum.
Patalingjug, who is from California, has traveled to more than half of the country’s states and has traveled abroad numerous times to sightsee and absorb cultures.
