It was a great place to get into trouble (and the patrons were mostly in their mid 20's). A lot of non-profit LGBT youth groups have dance parties that are pretty fun, and the Center should know about them.Īs a queer youth in Chicago in the early 2000's, I used to go to 18+ LGBT parties at an event called the Royale. Give them a call or just drop in, someone will be able to help out. First things first, you should be looking at the Center on Halsted as an awesome free resource for this kind of information.
