Here are some places to consider if you’re looking for an apartment.
Go forth, my beautiful Chicago queers!īy now, you’ve probably noticed I’m biased, but Chicago has some of the best LGBTQ+ friendly neighborhoods in the country. And if you ever need advice, just knock three times on the Bean, and I’ll appear in your reflection, your gay Chicago fairy godmother. Whether you’re trying to take things off the apps, trying for a meet-cute with your neighbor in a queer-friendly area, or just need some gay friends, there are endless ways to meet other gay women and nonbinary folks around you.Ĭheck out these neighborhoods, events, and date ideas to fall in love with Chicago’s queer community.
I’ve been in these streets, and some days it’s tough to date! But the payoff is amazing, sometimes for friends, sometimes for relationships, and sometimes just for swapping stories of being queer and never meeting again.
But when I’m alone, it can feel nebulous to find my people.
There are two things I’m most passionate about in this world - being gay and loving Chicago.
