The Gateway Alternative Lifestyle Center (GALC) is the Home of STL3 Inc., a Not For Profit, 501(c)(7), educational, support and social group. STL3 is dedicated to the free expression of alternative lifestyles and forms of loving. Located in St. Louis, Missouri, the group was established in 1997 to meet the needs of a growing Alternative Lifestyle community in and around the St. Louis metropolitan area. The ‘membership’ of STL3 consists of single individuals, couples and poly people from across the socioeconomic spectrum.
STL3 does not discriminate based upon age, race, religion, creed, gender, sexual orientation, identity, or chosen lifestyle. All adults are welcome regardless of their level of experience, depth of knowledge or time spent in the Lifestyle Community. STL3’s large and ever growing membership consists of a diverse range of people and all members must adhere to activities and practices that are “safe, sane, and consensual”.
The GALC is a modern ADA Compliant 5,000 sq. ft. commercial venue located in the Fox Park neighborhood of St. Louis. The GALC was designed and created to be a safe space and comfortable meeting place for STL3 members, as well as for other Alternative Lifestyle groups to meet, socialize, and educate.
The Phase-I build-out, completed in early 2016, included a new dual zone, energy efficient HVAC system, paved parking lot, spacious social area, two non-gendered restrooms, shower stall, an expansive and fully equipped ‘Activity Space’, and 1,500 sq. ft. fully enclosed, private outdoor patio area with a cooking grill, water fountain and seating areas. A commercial smoke detection & fire alarm system was also installed.
