Milwaukee’s LGBTQ Sites Earn Historical Markers
['Paul Masterson']

It will be the third marker granted thus far by the Wisconsin Historical Society to recognize Milwaukee’s LGBTQ history.
Finally, the third state marker will recognize the M&M Club and owner Bob Schmidt.
Curiously, whether by rainbow crosswalks or historical markers, the current slate of landmarks recognize only Milwaukee’s gay bars.
I can think of nothing more appropriate than a Cathedral Square historical marker honoring Archbishop Weakland, This Is It and the 1989 Pride rally.
For the moment, it’s a moot point since there is currently an application moratorium for official state historical markers.
