There’s only one tour in NOLA that combines ghost stories with jockstraps, and that’s Walking with the Gay Ghosts of New Orleans, a weekly tour through the French Quarter that’s as saucy as it is illuminating. The tour reveals a new side of this storied city—a side that, as tour guide Marcus Shacknow describes it, bridges gay history with gay smut—and showcases New Orleans as an epicenter of queer culture.⁠ ⁠ While these walking tours aren’t ghostly in a scary sense, they scratch that eerie itch through salacious folklore and sordid infamy. Shacknow highlights everything from homoerotic vampires (who may or may not have been locked away in a French Quarter building) to the commissioning of Jackson Square by Baroness Micaela Leonarda Antonia Almonester y Rojas, (who may or may not have been a lesbian).
