What we’re about
Hey there! We're Out and About, a friendly bunch of LGBTQ+ folks who just want to hang out and explore Chicago together. Sometimes we're catching a comedy show and laughing until our faces hurt, sometimes we're grabbing drinks after work, and sometimes we're getting creative with art nights or checking out whatever theater show looks fun. No pressure, no pretense—just good people doing fun things around the city. Whether you're new to Chicago, new to the community, or just looking for more friends to do stuff with, you're welcome here. Come as you are, and let's have a great time exploring Chicago and meeting each other. See you out there! 🌈
