Texas State and San Marcos Safe Spaces: 0 shown
About this map. A community-first guide to LGBTQ+ student resources, affirming spaces, health and gender-affirming care, faith communities, and queer-owned or queer-friendly spaces near Texas State University and across San Marcos, TX. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Texas State University. Every pin sits within five straight-line miles of the campus anchor, and each card tells you how far it is from that center. 7 places are mapped here: 5 rest on stronger public evidence, and 2 are flagged verify first and listed again at the bottom of this page. 1 of them sits on campus itself, starting with TXST Counseling Center LGBTQIA+ Support and Empowerment Group. 3 affirming faith communities are included under the affirming-denomination standard in the RIR methodology. Congregations change, so confirm an active affirming affiliation before you walk in. Where bars and nightlife are included, age policies are often unpublished or vary by event, so call ahead if you are under 21. Listings come from public information, campus and community directories, local reporting, and the places' own statements, gathered under the published methodology at rainbowsinrevolt.com/methodology. Confirm hours and current status before relying on any pin.

Regional Resources & Verify First

These pins are on the map, and they are real, but each one carries something the research could not confirm. Read the note before you go, and call first.
The Porch: the venue is stated as family friendly in the daytime and 21+ after 9pm, and it is unconfirmed whether the drag shows themselves fall in an under 21 window.Verify
The Davenport Lounge: no age policy for entry is posted anywhere on the site, so under 21 admission needed to satisfy this program's nightlife rule is unconfirmed.Verify
Some of what holds a queer community together has no street address: house shows, private group chats, mutual-aid networks, and student orgs whose meeting rooms rotate by semester. Those are not pinned, but they are worth asking about once you are in the room with people.
