And what’s beautiful to me is everywhere you go in Chicago, queers are there. Today so many more people seem to have a larger presence in queer life in Chicago-people of color, femmes, trans men and women, genderqueer and more. In the past, you’d go to Boystown and it seemed like it was mostly just a place for gay white guys. One thing I love about queer life in Chicago is how so many faces and voices are being recognized.
