Synopsis

Every year thousands of gay and lesbian travelers visit Chicago for annual events such as the gay and lesbian pride parade (which attracted 440,000 participants and spectators in 2006), Northalsted Street Market Days, the International Mr. Leather competition, and the Coming Out Against Cancer lesbian ball. Many more come to the city for non-gay-specific reasons: to visit family and friends, to sightsee, to attend conventions at McCormick Place—the world’s biggest convention center—or to take in a trade show at the Merchandise Mart. Up until now, no guidebook existed addressing the specific needs and interests of these travelers.
