About the event

Explore the vibrant gay history of Chicago's Old Town neighborhood on this walking tour. While today's Wells Street might be different from its 1970s heyday of gay porn theaters, the area's LGBTQ+ roots run much deeper. Discover stories and locations that shaped the community's past. This tour offers a unique glimpse into the evolution of Chicago's queer landscape.
