Chicago: so nice, you’ll think it’s hitting on you
For a gay ol’ moment, follow the rainbow to the Midwest. In this part of the land, Chicago is “the city,” but one that largely puts aside those big-city rules. In dating website terms, Chi-Town doesn’t wait two days to call you back after a date. Friendly and inviting, it’s the city that forgot that big cities are supposed to have an attitude.
Architecture aficionados and novices keep their eyes facing upwards to take in the grandeur. For closer-to-the-ground fun, do your duty as a tourist and brain to Millennium Park.

Here the queers have both officially and unofficially made the cosmos theirs.
If Sidetrack and Roscoe’s are weekend nighttime staples in Northalsted, Osterman Beach (aka Hollywood Beach) is the daytime counterpart, serving as both a precursor to evening festivities and a balm the morning after.
More than a few beachgoers told me that running into familiar faces is just a part of the experience at the beach. Mo, an Afro Arab bodybuilder, says the beach feels less claustrophobic and more relaxed than the queer bar scene in Andersonville and Lakeview. Johnny,
