Chicago History Museum's "Out In Chicago"

The Chicago History Museum will present a special exhibit called "Out In Chicago" to commemorate June as Pride Month. According to the Chicago History Museum website, Out in Chicago explores the stories of a group of Chicagoans who have been here since the city’s beginnings but whose lives have often been lived in the shadows.   

From the Chicago History website:

Out in Chicago spans diverse stories and perspectives and explores issues such as language, gender expression, formation of identity, the role of LGBT people in politics and culture, and family relationships. It balances private stories with public perspectives in relation to gender, community, and identity  and spotlights the inspiring and charged heritage of this diverse Chicago community, whose history truly belongs to all of us.

Check out a sneak peak of the exhibit, which opens this Saturday, here.
