What we’re about
We are a group of fun-loving gay professional women of all ages and races. We primarily focus on organizing women-only events outside bars and non-traditional gay & lesbian venues. If you are not into bars or clubs, new to Chicago, disappointed with online personal sites, feeling too "straight" for the glbt community and/or seeking real women who can hold a conversation, this is a place to start.
Our Meetup subscription ends in January 2025, marking the start of our transition to new platforms. We've created our social media accounts on Instagram, Discord, and WhatsApp. We already have a long-standing presence on Facebook. We’ll continue to use our Facebook account to post events facilitated by an organizer. Members can stay connected via other social media platforms.
