Legally speaking, you should be fine as long as you’re not disruptive or blocking access. Public space generally allows free speech (Mo. Const. art. I, § 8). Avoid slurs or harassing content (RSMo § 565.090).

Is it illegal to hold a sign that says “I love titties all shapes sizes colors” on the steps of City Hall in St. Louis, MO?
Any concerns about legal restrictions for public displays there?
Yes.
Anything else we should know?
Yes.
Is this related to a proceeding at City Hall?
No. I just want to stand off to the side of the steps—peaceful, not loud, not blocking anyone. Is it protected free speech?
